78 REPORT ON THE MIGRATION OF BIRDS. 



to be made useful as it stands, and there is abundant room for 

 enlargement ; but it would cost somewhat to print and distribute 

 it. I have three excellent schedules from Mr. Anderson. I 

 think his proposals are worthy of the attention both of our 

 Committee and of the British Association. Mr. Ross has also 

 materially assisted Mr. Anderson in filling these up. We would 

 be glad to receive from all stations the names of all the assistant 

 keepers, which can be inserted in next return of schedules. A 

 very pronounced rush is recorded at this station. It is quite 

 a principal station on our W. coast. 



Lamlasli, Arran. — Mr. David M. Scott does not consider it 

 necessary to mention all occurrences of Herons at this station, 

 " as they breed on the high rocks on the Island, and, of course, 

 are always in the locality." 



Turnberry. — From February to December almost all records 

 are accompanied by winds from S.S.E., S. or E. We have 

 records on twenty-one dates in that time, and only on one 

 day (Nov. 19th) is the wind out of another quarter, viz. N.N.W. ; 

 on this date a solitary Redshank was killed at the lantern. 



Corsewall. — Rushes evident both in spring and autumn. 

 Winds on dates of heaviest records S. to E. and N.E., but 

 also heavy returns on Sept. 22nd, with fresh S.W. and haze. 

 Dates of rushes very marked. A short but largely bulking 

 schedule. 



Mull of Galloway. — The migration is, on the whole, more 

 distinctly shown in October on the West Coast south of the 

 Clyde than on the East Coast at Isle of May during October. 

 The direction of flight usually given is, where noticed, S.E. 

 While on the East Coast, at Isle of May, winds were north of 

 either E. or W. between Sept. 26th and Oct. 17th, on the 

 West Coast south of Clyde they were S. and W. light. The 

 coast lines in the W. thus showed their influence on the migra- 

 tion ; and the normal winds, being west on the West Coast, 

 developed a larger and steadier" visible migration than on the 

 East Coast. The only Woodcock recorded at this station in 

 October— Oct. 19th — came during strong N. breeze. A con- 

 siderable number of Swallows occurred between June 29th and 

 July 4th, when there was a rush. I have no returns from the 

 Mull of Galloway after Oct. 23rd. 



Little lions. — Considerable evidence of rushes in latter end of
