EIGHTH REPOBT 



ON 



THE MIGRATION OF BIRDS 



IN THE 



SPEING AND AUTUMN OF 1886. 



EAST COAST OF SCOTLAND. 



The usual schedules were sent to all the stations, except Tay 

 Lightship and Carr Eock. Twelve stations on the East Coast of 

 Scotland have returned thirty-six schedules. Pentland Skerries 

 gives the heaviest returns with nine schedules. Isle of May 

 follows with eight schedules ; and N. Unst is next in import- 

 ance. Then Bell Eock with two, and Fidra with three, run it 

 very close. We would like returns from Carr Eock and Tay 

 Lightship next season, and will forward schedules, &c. 



We follow the same plan as in previous reports. The pre- 

 sent year's returns are indicated by asterisks. 



The migration values of the various stations of the Scottish 

 Coasts are explained in the Eeport for 1884, p. 10, and need not 

 be repeated here.
