Saxicolinæ.--Chats.--_In Spring._--In March earliest two Redstarts ("the first seen here") at N. Unst; S.E. and fog. Wheatears at Isle of May on 24th and 26th, but only straggling birds. In April, solitary record on 1st at Pentland Skerries. Two on 27th at Bell Rock, and same date at Isle of May; and Redstarts ("mostly males") intermittent all April. In May, at Isle of May, Redstarts ("mostly females") on 3d, and intermittent up to 19th; also Wheatears, Whinchats (numbers on the 8th, and rush or great numbers on the 18th all day); W.S.W., strong. In June a single solitary record of a Stonechat (? Wheatear) from N. Unst. _In Autumn._--Few records in August; but on 31st numbers of Wheatears at 10 P.M. at the lantern. Latest records of _Saxicolinæ_, 24th October at Pentland Skerries; and next last there also on the 22d, of Redstarts, both females; and on 26th of a Stonechat at N. Unst (? Wheatear). At Isle of May on 5th, and at Fidra, "numbers all day" on the island, of "Stonechats" (_vera_ at Isle of May? Wheatears? at Fidra). A not very great or decided rush in September, principally noticeable at Isle of May and Fidra, of "Stonechats." Silviinæ.--Robins, Whitethroats.--_In Spring._--A great rush of Robins, with fresh S.E. haze, at Pentland Skerries, on 19th April. "Good numbers" at Isle of May, on 23d; also Whitethroats remained all night at Isle of May, on 28th April. A rush took place of the latter at same station on May 3d; "swarming" and culminating on 18th (one Willow Wren--_Phylloscopus_--appearing with others on 19th). No Robins are; noted in May anywhere. _In Autumn._--A solitary Robin on 24th August at Cromarty (very likely a local resident). A few odd birds in September. One Whitethroat and three Robins, all on different dates, at Isle of May and Fidra; the Whitethroat on the 1st at Isle of May. Rushes all in October, and returns sent from the following stations, all of Robins:--N. Unst (1 Robin); Sumburgh Head, 1; Pentland Skerries, Isle of May, and Fidra. Rushes mostly at Isle of May and Fidra about 24th to 29th, and winds prevailing easterly and south-easterly. No records in November. A solitary record in December of two Robins at N. Unst, and one on 7th January 1887 at Dunnet Head. Migration of Robins scarcely discernible in spring; and short, sharp, and decisive in October. Of Whitethroats large. Local, _viz._--at Isle of May; indicated at N. Unst in spring; and only one record in September at Isle of May. Phylloscopinæ.--Goldcrest (or Gold-crested Wren), Chiffchaff, Willow Wren, Wood Warbler.--_In Spring._--At Fidra numbers of Goldcrests flying about on 24th March; wind S.W., light breeze. The only other spring record of this species is on the 27th March at Pentland Skerries--a single bird; mod. W., clear. This appears to have been a sudden departure, probably general, but not coming much under notice. Of the same species we have not another spring record.
