Abstract
IN the November number of The Zoologist Mr. Harvie-brown, in completing his account of the southern extension of the breeding range of the fulmar which has been in progress for manyyears, points out that these essentially Arctic birds had established themselves in St. Kilda at least 250 years ago. In 1838 or 1837 they were observed for the first time in the Faroes, nesting on the cliffs of Qualboe in Suderoe, and by 1849 they had colonised Skuor and Great Dimon. From these islands the fumar has invaded, as a breeding species, the Shetlands, the Scottish mainland, and the west coast of Ireland.
