XX PROCEEDINGS—PERTHSHIRE SOCIETY OF NATURAL SCIENCE. 
From Dr. Thomas F. Dewar, Arbroath—Wheatear, with six 
eggs. It may be remarked that this nest and the one from Loch 
Tay are two of the most beautiful, and very characteristic of the 
localities from which they come; the Highland one lined with 
wool and Wild Ducks’ feathers and that from the Coast very pro¬ 
fusely and entirely with those of the Sea-Gull. Ring-Plover, with 
four eggs; Common Tern, with three eggs; Lesser Tern, with four 
eggs. The above three species making no special nest, but a mere 
depression in the ground, the sand and debris of broken shells, with 
surroundings, have all been sent, which will be duly arranged when 
placing the nests in the Museum. 
From Mr. Folkharde, Blairgowrie—Reed Sparrow, or Black¬ 
headed Bunting, with four eggs. This is a most beautiful nest, and 
has been most carefully taken with all its surroundings. A Long- 
Tailed Tit, with no eggs. Ringed Plover, with two eggs, from the 
Ericht. Greater Tern, with two eggs, from the White Loch, Blair¬ 
gowrie. The materials from the site of these two nests have not yet 
been sent, but will be. Two other eggs are forwarded, presumed to 
be those of the Grey Dun Hen, but with no history attached. 
Two boxes, containing Birds’ Skins and Nests, but without eggs, 
have been received by the Curator from Mr. Bell of Rossie, but, as 
there is no list or any particulars sent with them, these must stand 
over for the present. 
A Nest and Eggs of the Shelldrake, as also that of the Dunlin, 
from Mr. R. W. R. Mackenzie of Earlshall, Tentsmuir, by Col. 
Campbell, have been advised, but have not yet reached the Curator’s 
hands, so that no special report of these can be given.
