their nesting quarters, thousands arriving on April 1st. Puf&ns 

 on the 15th. On January 10th and 28th, 1884, on each day a 

 Black Guillemot, Uria grylle, was shot from the island. The 

 Little Auk, Mergidus alle, shot there on Dec. 29th ; and on Feh. 

 4th and 5th, 1884, a great many were seen flying and swimming 

 about the islands, more than had ever been seen before. 



The Committee are again indebted to Professor Chr. Fr. 

 Liitken, of the Universitetets Zoologiske Museum, Copenhagen, for 

 a list of the birds killed or taken against the lantern of the 

 lighthouse of Stevns, on the projecting part of Zealand, marking 

 the limit between the Baltic and Oresund, in the spring and 

 autumn of 1883. The list has been drawn up by Mr. Autander, 

 a physician living in the neighbourhood of the lighthouse. In 

 forwarding the list to Professor Liitken he states there has been 

 in this year only a few nights in which any number of birds have 

 been killed, in consequence of the sky being generally clear 

 during the time of the migration.
