N. Unst.—John Nichol (principal), J. J. Morrison, Robert 
Agnew, and John Down (assistants), send in three well-filled 
schedules. J. N. in a note says: “ Wood’s Natural History, 
second edition, would be very useful to us here.” Amongst 
rarities, a Wryneck, obtained on 9th September (see under 
species). “About 5th September all Puffins, Marrots, Kitti- 
wakes, and Guillemots disappeared. Puffins and Mosscheepers 
(probably Rock Pipits, J. A. H. B.) breed on the rock, and a 
Gull or two. Falcon Hawk on the island ashore, and visits the 
rock in search of small birds. No Swans seen as in former 
years in November and December. I was told a great flock was 
seen at Lerwick going north early in November. Since my 
arrival at this station in July last from Dhuheartach, not a. 
single Eider Duck was seen. Only birds we see now are from 
the shore (December 26, 1885), viz. Starlings, Sparrow Hawks, 
Crows; a few Gulls flying about; Solan Geese all away.”
