VOL. XIII.) THE BIRDS OF BARDSEY ISLAND. 185 The Wood-Pigeon (Columba palumbus). A single bird taken at the light on January 28th '2gth, 1914, is the only record. The Stock-Dove (Columba cenas).

Not seen by Mr. Coward nor by myself in June or September 1913.

A single bird was seen by Mr. Aplin feeding in one of the fields. None seen by Mr. Coward. On June i6th, 1913, I put up a bird close to the withy-bed near the Chapel.
