Barrels Rock Light-ship.—May 27th, one hovering about; wind S., stormy. September 12th, three going S.W.; wind strong. November 16th, one at noon about ship; wind strong, S.E.
South Maidens.—July 16th, one found alive on balcony.
Tearaght.—March 5th, one flew against glass. April 4th, one against glass. Observed as early as March 1st, but not plentiful until July, "If I said there were six or seven thousand here, it would be giving an idea of how plentiful they are." The eggs are laid about 15th June, and the first I observed hatched was on 10th August. They vomit a half-digested white matter as well as the oil; perhaps it is this they feed the young with.
Valentia.—May 8th, one caught at night. October 2d, one captured in yard. September 20th, one seen.
Skelligs.—April 21st, first appearance on rock in holes. May 13th, numbers about lantern at 10 P.M. June 15th, first egg seen to-day. A fortnight later than last year.
Razorbill.
Mine Head.—October 4th, young Razorbill diving, and on December 12th, 23d, and 27th, flocks flying towards S.W.; on latter date fishing in great numbers. January 15th, 1886, the young Razorbill is as plentiful here now as I ever saw them at the Tearaght.
