SOLAN GEESE EISHING. 
This plate is from memoranda of what we have often observed on the Ayrshire 
coast nearly opposite Ailsa Craig, which is introduced in the distance. On that 
coast a number of Solan Geese may be seen pouring into a small spot of the 
sea, and then rising heavily from the water and circling round till they reach a 
•sufficient height, when they dart head foremost down again into nearly the same 
place. 
Bewick’s cut of this bird is a great warning not to trust to a stuffed “specimen.”
