26. Eagle Island, West.—No entry in schedule. Remark:—"This island is very small, and the adjacent shores being all bog for miles inland very few birds alight on island. The Stonechatter is to be seen here all the year round. In May the sea-fowl come round the island in great numbers; as a rule they go gradually to the south, following shoals of fish, and very few are to be seen during the winter months. To-day (Jan. 15th, 1882) I have seen a few Gannets and Sea Gulls flying about. No birds have struck the lantern since my arrival at this station eighteen months since."—Mathew Healy.
27. Black Rock (Mayo).—No daily entry, but schedule filled by following general remarks:—"Gannets seen passing south all the year round, most seen in calm weather, ten to twenty in each flight. Puffins from April 15th to Aug. 15th; build on the Rock. Cormorants here all the year round; build on the Rock. Kittiwake Gulls build on an island three miles away; also Royal Gulls. Small Gulls, commonly called 'Wheelons,' build on the Rock. Barnacles here from October to March. Two 'Falcon Hawks' build on an island three miles away; here all the year round. Two 'Sparrowhawks' seen in the mornings. Rooks, in flocks of 100 to 500, mostly seen in snow and frosty weather. Starlings from September to March, morning and evening, 1000 to 5000 in a flock, seen with all winds, mostly in frosty weather; hundreds killed against lantern. 'Missel Thrushes' from November to March, 50 to 100 in each flock, most in frosty weather; seen at all hours; a large number killed. Snipe from November to March in flocks of two to four, in frost and snow; some killed. Woodcocks from November to March in frost and snow; some killed. Curlews, twenty to thirty in a flock, from daylight till dark; seen all the year round. Wrens seen very seldom in the spring. Blackbirds only seen in frosty weather; some killed by striking lantern. 'Titmouses' seen in all weathers; build on the Rock. Stormy Petrels from March to September, at all hours of the night; build on the Rock. Larks in flocks of 100 to 300, only seen in frosty weather; a large number killed by striking glass. I have seen some strange birds rest here on their passage to the mainland, but do not know their names. I have seen a Hoopoe on one occasion rest here. There has been a species of Sea Gull of a deep cream-colour on the coast last August, supposed to be a North American bird. I have seen large flights of Rooks rest here after coming in from the sea in a S.W. direction, which seemed so much fatigued that they would fall over after resting, and remain to be caught."—Martin Kennedy.
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.
