28. _Blacksod Point._--No reply. 29. _Clare Island._--"The following varieties of birds build their nests round the cliffs here; they come on the 1st of April and leave about the 20th of August:--Guillemots, Razorbills, Puffins, Kittiwakes."--James Reilly. 30. _Slyne Head (North)._--"The 'Purr' is the only sea-bird that breeds near this station. They arrive in April and depart in August. The arrival of birds to this island during the past autumn and winter was very few in comparison with other years, and the only reason I can assign for it is that we had very little snow. During the snow of 1880 we had large flocks of Starlings, Thrushes, and Blackbirds arriving daily from the east."--John Gillan. 31. _Slyne Head (South)._--No general remarks. Schedule partly filled.--William Callaghan. 32. _Arran Island, North._--"The only birds seen in the vicinity of this station since July are the Gannet, the Royal or Black-backed Gull, and the Common Gull. They do not breed on this island, as it is low and flat. The Gulls breed on the cliffs of the large island of Arran and cliffs of the Co. Clare. Do not know dates of arrival or departure. The Gannets and Gulls that visit this station come from the direction of the Co. Clare, remain during the day, and return in the evening. No flocks seen after Nov. 7th."--John Kelly. 33. _Straw Island._--No reply. 34. _Arran Island, South._--"Have never known less birds strike the lantern."--Francis Ryan. 35. _Loop Head._--No reply. 36. _Samphire Island._--No reply. 37. _Tearaght._--No reply. 38. _Valentia._--"I have been at this station 4-1/2 years, and have never seen any birds migrating or resorting this locality except sea-birds, such as Gannet, Puffin, Cormorants, &c. They are not very numerous, and seldom visit except from August to the end of October. Very few land-birds visit here, except in severe frosts and snow in winter; then the Starling, Thrush, Blackbird, Lark, &c., come down from the mountains. Hundreds of Starlings, Thrushes, and Curlews died last January in this locality by severe frost and snow. There are not any birds strike this lantern. Very few strike land-lights, but on the South Maiden lighthouse I have seen hundreds of Starlings, Thrushes, and Blackbirds strike and kill themselves in one night, and frequently Snipe and Woodcock. On the Tuskar Rock lighthouse I have counted twelve hundred killed in one night, and hundreds more fell into the sea that we did not get. At Rockabill lighthouse also I have got great numbers killed, and frequently four and six Teal or small duck, and Snipe and Woodcock. I have not seen since I came to this station one Wild Duck or Goose, nor any flock of migrating birds. I have kept a good look-out for the last two months, and have not seen any birds except a few Gannets and Sea Gulls."--Thomas McKenna.
