nesting, were seen at close quarters almost daily, always close to 
the water’s edge. 
A Sanderling seen on Eutland Island May 25th, and Dunlins, 
with and without the black breast, on the same date. King 
Dottrel with eggs on the same date. 
The Common Gull breeds pretty freely in this locality. 
In conclusion, I repeat that these disjointed notes have no 
pretension whatever to completeness. I carried no gun, and 
several obscurely coloured little birds escaped identification. 
Plenty remains for any one to do who shall go to the district 
Avith an eye for natural history. The sea-fishing is excellent, and 
easily accessible from Burton Port. The people are gentle, 
intelligent, and well-disposed ; not extortionate, not mendicants, 
but all that one could desire in the AA^ay of boatmen, comparing in 
every respect most favourably Avith the vulgar and rapacious 
felloAVs I have endured the company of at other places nearer 
home, and I should be ungrateful not to mention them Avith 
respect.
