former account of the Scottish Heronries ; while Mr. J. H. 
Gurney sends a note on Solamosse (Solway) Geese, as 
distinguished from Sollemgeese (Gannets). Notices of 
Northern Bullfinches, Mealy Redpolls, and the continental 
forms of the Willow-Warbler and Great Spotted Woodpecker 
are of considerable interest; as are the details of nests of 
the Snow-Bunting in Aberdeenshire and the Wigeon in 
Roxburghshire by Mr. Blackwood. 
A large part of the July number is devoted to the Report 
on Scottish Ornithology for 1910 by Misses Rintoul and 
Baxter, who record the first Scottish examples of the Rock 
Thrush (Pentland Skerries), the Marsh-Warbler (St. Kilda), 
the American Tot anus flavipes (Fair Isle) and Anthus pennsyl- 
vanicus (St. Kilda), besides the rarer species mentioned in the 
first paragraph of this notice. Acanthis exilipes and A. hol- 
bcelli were also procured, if these forms are to be regarded 
as certainly distinguishable, while continental forms of the 
Robin, Gold-crested Wren, and Great Tit were examined 
and identified. 
A separate report is given by the same two ladies to record 
the Nightingale from the Isle of May (May 9th, 1911); but 
the same article has also much interesting information 
on the distribution of birds in the separate faunal areas and 
notices of such rare species as the Icterine Warbler, Siberian 
Chiffchaff, and White-spotted Blue-throat. Northern Bull¬ 
finches and Hoopoes were unusually abundant. Greenland 
Falcons occurred in several places, but no reports were 
received on this occasion of Yellow r -browed or Barred 
W arblers.

Three more numbers of our contemporary come to be noticed, 
and we are particularly pleased with the account of the 
<c display ” of the Peacock-Pheasant by Mr. R. I. Pocock, 
wliich supplements that of Darwin, while shewing a 
connexion with the displays of the Argus Pheasant and 
others of the same Family, and a contrast to those of the 
Peacock and Turkey. The lateral and frontal positions are 
both figured.
