PHYSICAL ASPECTS. 
3 
house-keepers — Messrs. Gibson, Gilmour, Frazer, and M'Gee, at 
the Pentland Skerries ; Mr. Charles Christian at Holborn Head ; 
Ml". David Laidlaw at Dunnet Head, and Mr. Greig at Noss Head. 
To each of these, during our peregrinations, we made ourselves 
known, and were much pleased with the kind way in which we 
were always received ; and with the interest which they all take 
in the work of our Migration Committee, even where, owing to 
description of light or situation, the stations do not yield large 
returns, as at ISToss Head, Dunnet Head, and Holborn Head. 
We are indebted to Mr. Lionel Hinxman and Mr. Benjamin 
N. Peach for kindly communicating to us their very interest- 
ing discovery of the nesting of the Snow Bunting in Sutherland, 
and we think it better to give verbatim the account as given us 
by the former gentleman, clear and succinct as it is, than to 
elaborate it by introducing any passages of our own. We also 
give extracts from Mr. Peach's letter, as the honour of finding the 
nest belongs equally to him ; and we trust our readers will not 
think they have "too much of a good thing" by our giving 
each finder's account separately. We have great pleasure in being 
able to introduce an illustration of the corrie in which the nest 
was found, kindly photographed for us by Mr. Lunn.
