shooting in Ardnamurchan in January 1887, though Woodcock were fairly plentiful, we never saw Snipe so scarce in Mingary Park. The suddenness of the rush, short space of time occupied, and complete departure south in December at once accounts for this.--J. A. H.-B.] _Lochindaul._--James Edgar sends three well-filled schedules, and observes that no schedules appear from our Report to have been sent for some years back. We are very glad again to receive schedules from Lochindaul, which appears to be a favourable situation for observations. Mr Edgar's last station was N. Unst, whence he sent us schedules. Mr Edgar says of Lochindaul: "Very few birds are attracted to this light, owing to part of the light being red, and the land side of the lantern being dark, although there are plenty of birds in the vicinity of the station. Most of the observations I have made are during the day time, and I only entered each species the first and last time seen, and any unusual flocks seen during the season. I gave up taking notes at end of October, owing to illness, and I was invalided from then till recently" (dated 17th January 1887), "which accounts for the lateness of sending in the schedules." _Lamlash._--David M. Scott and Robert Brown send a light schedule, except on the 6th October, when they appear fully to have participated in that extraordinary rush. "We could make out Curlews, Lapwings, Thrushes, Goldcrests, Linnets, Blackbirds, Wrens--the largest number ever seen in one night at this station;" further proving the magnitude and wide-spread character of the 1886 autumn migration, as well as its singularly compressed nature. _Turnberry._--Andrew Nisbet and William Begg send three well-filled day-to-day schedules. Curiously enough, the "rush" of October--which is quite the feature of our 1886 Report--is only comparatively emphasised here; but while the emphasis is moderate, it is also quite equally pronounced when compared with records at the same station. Thus, whilst only 1, 2, or 3 birds struck, or were seen at the lantern all through the season, a spring movement was more observable about the 10th February; and the autumn migration rush was emphasised by 13 birds at the lantern on the famous 5th and 6th October, and 5 the following night. Thus, comparatively speaking, the rush was also apparent on that date as elsewhere. All returns at other dates are light. _Corsewall._--An _unsigned schedule_, well filled and neatly executed, to hand, dating February 4th to October 29th, shows an early spring migration, also in February, of Starlings, Thrushes, and Larks; and "a great rush" of Blackbirds, Thrushes, and Larks (both male and female), and Goldcrests, began to strike at 9 P.M., and continued till daylight. A great many killed of all kinds. Upwards of 100 got in the morning. S.E. fresh breeze, fog and rain. Short, sharp, sudden, and vast, as we do not find another entry till 23d.
