General Remarks of Light-Keepers.

Galley Head.—Autumn: No birds were killed striking the lantern during the two years I have been at this station.—John Kelly.

Mine Head.—Autumn: A pair of Ravens and Peregrine Falcons, and several pairs of Choughs, breed in the cliffs close to the lighthouse. A large number of Cormorants also build here, and Gulls on several islets close to the shore.—Hugh J. Dugan.

Tuskar Rock.—Autumn: There was no light shown in lighthouse from June 1st to November 20th, which accounts for the apparent scarcity of some migrants at this station.—Richard Hamilton.

Arklow South Light-ship.—On the night of November 9th, several birds of various kinds about lantern; many killed; some fell on deck, and a large number overboard.—Patrick Clancy.
