evidence that once that noble falcon, the peregrine, nested 
there, which it would probably do again if freed from 
persecution.* 
Of the reptiles and amphibians of Kinnoull Hill there is 
not much to be said. The slow worm and viviparous 
lizard are reported to occur, but I have not seen either. 
The common newt is also an inhabitant, and so are the 
frog and the toad, — the latter being the commonest. 
Both of these species I have seen in my rock garden, where, 
in raking up some leaves the other day, 1 turned up a fat 
toad, the first I think I ever saw in winter. The toad is a 
very desirable animal (as is also the frog) to have in a 
garden, and should be protected, and not knocked on the 
head, as is too often done by ignorant and cruel gardeners. 
It may not be generally known that the toad is rather a 
clever climber, and can make his way up perpendicular 
surfaces with a comparative facility that would not be 
suspected. 
Of fishes, there are strictly speaking none on Kinnoull 
Hill, but as we included in our lists several plants and 
animals that occur in the River Tay where it bounds the 
district, we ought, I suppose, to include the fishes also. 
In that case we have in our fauna eight or more species, 
as follows :—Minnow, allis shad, salmon, sea-trout, com¬ 
mon trout, sharp-nosed eel, lampern, and flounder. 
* Since writing the above, I have heard that an eagle (pre¬ 
sumably the Golden Eagle) was once seen on Kinnoull Hill.—
