848 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



friends who fish the lake every season in May and June, and who 

 are well acquainted with the Yellow Wagtail in England. If 

 it frequented the shores or islands of the lake it could not long 

 elude the notice of those so well acquainted with the bird in its 

 English haunts. 



As the Grey Wagtail, M. ?nelanope, is commonly known ii 

 Ireland as the " Yellow Wagtail," many mistakes are mad< 

 in confusing the two species, and I have often been told of th< 

 Yellow Wagtail nesting in certain localities ; but on furthei 

 enquiry as to where the nests were found, the description of th< 

 sites always proved the nests to be those of the Grey Wagtail. 



Addendum. — Last June my friend Mr. E. J. Ussher, whei 

 exploring the lower end of Lough Corrib between Oughterard< 

 and Galway, met this bird distributed amongst the islands, 

 showing that its haunts were all about the lake, and extende< 

 through the three lakes Carra, Mask, and Corrib without 

 break.— E. W.
