Notes received from other sources will appear, as before, after the
paragraphs on each species, as it is desirable to keep the two sets of
observations distinct. I would also refer here to my "Third Report on
Scottish Ornithology," already referred to in 'Migration Report, 1880,'
p. 4, as having been read, but not yet printed (Feb. 1882).
Notes have been kept upon about 25 species of waterfowl and about
50 species of land birds by our reporters on the east coast. Spring
migration I have not kept distinct in this Report. Obituary at each
station, inappreciable at Scottish stations, will be noticed where
necessary under General Remarks.
Owing to Mr. T. Anderson having been almost entirely sailing to and fro
in the Mediterranean, I regret that I can show no returns this year
from Mid-Atlantic, which is to be regretted, as it would be instructive
to learn what are the results of a contrary prevailing wind to that of
1880. Possibly, however, Mr. R. Gray may yet be able to give us some
returns of interest culled from the Mediterranean log, which may raise
other points of interest.
