This list contains thirty-seven birds, of which the half may be con- 
sidered purely maritime; of the remaining nineteen, nine are purely 
land, if we include the Rock Pigeon and the Rock Pipit, and ten 
‘te littoral, more or less; these divisions however being arbitrary. 
There may be seyeral others that breed besides those in the list, 
a Mergus serrator, the Red-breasted Merganser, -&c., but if so, 
€y ave in very small numbers. I saw also the following in July, 
7 the end of June, but I could not get any indications of their 
having bred :— 
Ardea cinerea, Common Heron—a single bird. 
Cypselus apus, Swift—one at the end of June. 
Calidris arenaria, Sanderling—one pair end of July. 
Strepsilas interpres, Turnstone—a small flock. 
Totanus calidris, Redshank—a good sized flock.
