  THE 
  VEETEBEATE 
  FAUNA 
  OF 
  "DEE." 
  

  

  were 
  driven 
  by 
  strong 
  winds 
  right 
  into 
  the 
  interior 
  of 
  the 
  

   country, 
  and 
  were 
  picked 
  up 
  dead 
  and 
  dying 
  all 
  along 
  the 
  

   east 
  of 
  Scotland. 
  In 
  some 
  bays 
  they 
  lay 
  dead 
  in 
  hundreds.

   Fratercula 
  arctica, 
  Linn. 
  Puffin. 
  "Tammie 
  Checkie." 
  

  

  Abundant, 
  and 
  breeds 
  sparingly 
  among 
  the 
  rocks 
  along 
  the 
  

   Kincardineshire 
  coast, 
  and 
  in 
  great 
  numbers 
  about 
  Slains 
  and 
  

   the 
  Rock 
  of 
  Dunbuy. 
  

  

  When 
  the 
  breeding 
  season 
  is 
  over, 
  the 
  Puffin 
  betakes 
  itself 
  

   to 
  sea, 
  where, 
  during 
  winter, 
  small 
  parties 
  are 
  generally 
  to 
  

   be 
  met 
  with.
