WEST COAST OF SCOTLAND. 



Schedules, &c., were sent to thirty-eight stations, the same 

 number as in 1880. We have received filled-in schedules from 

 twenty-six stations, being same as last year. 



Generally the returns are light, and the scarcity of birds is 

 accounted for by the reporters, and borne out by comparison of 

 statistics, by the prevalence of westerly gales and winds (see 

 General Kemarks). The schedules show the same careful work 

 as in former years. 



The dates upon which the various stations have sent us 

 returns are shown in the following list of the stations by the 

 positions of the asterisks preceding the consecutive numbers. 

 Stations added have the dates preceding the names. As will be 

 seen, the work done will compare favourably with the East Coast 

 returns, and also with that of previous seasons.
