EAST COAST OF SCOTLAND. 3 



I can find about last year's migratory birds. I only await a 

 Northumberland and Berwickshire list to have it ready." Later 

 I received a summary of this from Mr. Hardy, which will be found 

 at the end of this East Coast of Scotland Keport. As an example 

 of careful and minute field- study it is alone deserving of the 

 attention of observers, and it proves valuable upon comparison 

 with the other data. Those reading the lighthouse reports here 

 under the species, should also compare with Mr. Hardy's local 

 Berwickshire observations. I beg to propose Mr. Hardy as a 

 member of our Committee.

I Records and Schedule datmg after 22nd Nov. were filled in by Mr. John 

 Wilson. Prior to this date they were filled in by Mr. William Anderson, 

 who has been since transferred to St. Abb's Head. 



I No schedule was returned, but one note upon Swans, in a letter, proves 

 useful {vide Swan). " No birds struck the lights this year." 



§ Schedule returned with the remark, " Nothing of importance has been 

 observed at this station during 1880." In 1879 a similar scarcity noted at 

 this locality. 



II We have lost a good observer here, Mr. George Maclachlan having left.
