                        THE MIGRATION OF BIRDS

                                IN THE

                      SPRING AND AUTUMN OF 1886.

                            ==============




                        EAST COAST OF SCOTLAND.


The usual schedules were sent to all the stations, except Tay
Light-ship and Carr Rock. Twelve stations on the East Coast of Scotland
have returned thirty-six schedules. Pentland Skerries gives the
heaviest returns with nine schedules. Isle of May follows with eight
schedules; and N. Unst is next in importance. Then Bell Rock with two,
and Fidra with three, run it very close. We would like returns from
Carr Rock and Tay Light-ship next season, and will forward schedules,
&c.

We follow the same plan as in previous reports. The present year's
returns are indicated by asterisks.

The migration values of the various stations of the Scottish Coasts are
explained in the Report for 1884, p. 10, and need not be repeated here.

EAST OF SCOTLAND.

The names of the Reporters are given under "Diary from the Stations."
