66 REPORT ON THE MIGRATION OF BIRDS. 



November. — At Monach Isles surprising numbers of Field- 

 fares and Bedwings, rushing between 1st and 12th ; great 

 numbers of Eed wings (see Diary) ; also on 1st, 10 th, 11th (many 

 Fieldfares). Large numbers Mavis on 11th ; also Blackbirds, 

 scarcer. Rush felt most elsewhere at Skerryvore and Dhu- 

 heartach, also on 11th; strong N.E. breeze ! ! all night. Many 

 killed at both these places. Lighter at Skeryuile (Missel 

 Thrushes also), Fieldfares and Eedwings ; and at Lochindaul, 

 4th to 9th to 20th, and Corsewall (generally full and large), but 

 concentrated' most at Monach, Skerryvore, and Dhuheartach. 

 Continued lightly into December at same stations. 



SaxicoliNtE. — February. — 8th, one " Stonechat " at Little 

 Eoss. 



March. — 1st, one Whinchat at Dhuheartach. 4th, one " Stone- 

 chat " at Ehinns of Islay. [These " Stonechats," " Whinchats," 

 and " Wheatears " must, we fear, be hopelessly mixed always, 

 as the correspondence now, to fix it, would entail enormous 

 labour. — J. A. H.-B.]

 Corran Ferry ; and 13th and 20th, a few ditto at same place.
