October.—Numbers travelling, yet not so very densely. Rush of Thrushes on 16th at Corsewall. Great numbers of Redwing at Butt of Lewis, 21st and 22d; and one Fieldfare on 30th there. Other stations: Dhuheartach, Rhinns of Islay (Redwings), Lochindaul, Corsewall, and Little Ross.
November.—At Monach Isles surprising numbers of Fieldfares and Redwings, rushing between 1st and 12th; great numbers of Redwings (see Diary); also on 1st, 10th, 11th (many Fieldfares). Large numbers Mavis on 11th; also Blackbirds, scarcer. Rush felt most elsewhere at Skerryvore and Dhuheartach, also on 11th; strong N.E. breeze!! all night. Many killed at both these places. Lighter at Skervuile (Missel Thrushes also), Fieldfares and Redwings; and at Lochindaul, 4th to 9th to 20th, and Corsewall (generally full and large), but concentrated most at Monach, Skerryvore, and Dhuheartach. Continued lightly into December at same stations.
Saxicolinæ.—February.—8th, one "Stonechat" at Little Ross.
March.—1st, one Whinchat at Dhuheartach. 4th, one "Stonechat" at Rhinns of Islay. [These "Stonechats," "Whinchats," and "Wheatears" must, we fear, be hopelessly mixed always, as the correspondence now, to fix it, would entail enormous labour.—J. A. H.-B.]
April.—12th, Wheatear at Butt of Lewis; and 6th, ditto at Corran Ferry; and 13th and 20th, a few ditto at same place. Whinchat at Dhuheartach on 15th, and Wheatear on 17th. Other records at Rhinns of Islay, Ailsa Craig (27th), and Little Ross (11th and 12th).
May.—Two entries only at Dhuheartach (11th and 17th); W., N.W.

At Skerryvore, 3d, 4th, 21st ("Stonechats" in distinction to Wheatears); 26th, ditto; and 25th, Redstart; and at Dhuheartach, 26th, Wheatears; and at Lochindaul, fifteen ditto on 2d, and again one on 14th.
