It must be in consequence of bad weather on this coast. No sea birds build nests near this station."--John Tottenham. 2. _Galley Head._--"This is one of the worst stations I have been at for birds; in fact we think it rare to see any only those that are natives of the place. This year they are very scarce. The Starling has not come down to us from the mountains yet."--John Whelan. 3. _Old Head, Kinsale._--"No birds, only the above (_i. e._, five Golden-crested Wrens on Oct. 24th, and several flocks of Lapwings on Dec. 12th) have appeared in the vicinity this season. The Gannet usually proceeds to the eastward in August and September, and flies westward from January to March. The Guillemots, Razorbills, Cormorants, Kittiwake, and Herring Gulls all arrive here to breed in March, and depart in August and September."--John Dunleary. 4. _Mine Head._--"Birds of all descriptions were not so scarce at this station for the last seven years as during the year 1881."--Joseph Hammond. 5. _Coningbeg Light-ship._--"There were no birds about the station in the month of December, or up to the 20th of January, with the exception of a few Sea Gulls each day."--Patrick Cullen. 6. _Barrels Rock Light-ship._--General remarks none, but a full schedule of daily entries.--Joseph Oxford. 7. _Tuskar._--General remarks, none. A full schedule.--Richard Hamilton. 8. _Arklow, South, Light-ship._--General remarks, none. A full schedule.--William Shea. 9. _Wicklow Head._--No reply. 10. _Kish Bank Light-ship._--"Less birds passed the station this winter than ever. No birds have been killed by striking our lantern for some years."--William Daly. 11. _Howth Baily._--General remarks, none.--Joseph Brownell.
