on a visitation of Greenland Falcons by the same and Mr. 
Eagle Clarke; and on the rare hybrid between the Black¬ 
cock and Capercaillie, with some remarks on the latter species 
in East Lothian. 
In the July part we have a skilfully drawn-up Iteport on 
Scottish Ornithology for 1909 by those energetic lady-workers 
Misses Baxter and Rintoul, who take the place this year of 
Mr. Laidlaw. It will be remembered that they themselves 
added a new species to the British list in 1909 ( Saxicola 
pleschanka from, the Isle of May), but they call our attention 
here to many other rare birds, too numerous to mention, 
including Phylloscopus superciliosus on the Scottish mainland, 
Oriolus galbula , Zonotrichia albicollis (Flannan Islands), 
Falco candicans , Tadorna casarca, and numerous species from 
Fair Isle and the Isle of May. A feature in the Report is 
the division into sections which deal with different subjects, 
such as extension of breeding-range, nesting of the species* 
migration, and so forth ; while the occurrences in winter are a 
welcome addition to the usual spring and autumn records* 
Among the latter the great invasion of the Crossbill into 
Britain is duly chronicled and discussed. 
The Pentland Skerries have furnished a specimen of the 
Rock-Thrush, which was sent to the Royal Scottish Museum; 
this, Mr. Eagle Clarke says, is only the second time that 
Monticola saxatilis has occurred in Britain, if we except 
doubtful reports. In the f Zoological Notes 9 for July we 
find mention of a Chough from Peeblesshire, and an 
American Yellow-billed Cuckoo from Colonsay, besides 
further occurrences of the Crossbill.
