_Tearaght._--The Kittiwake remains long after the Puffin, Razorbill, and Guillemot are gone, but leaves before the Stormy Petrel. Only a few Herring Gulls breed on the island. They prey on the eggs of other birds, and carry them off in their bill without breaking them--Guillemots' eggs, some of which weigh eight ounces. They also carry off the young birds and devour them on a rock close by. On May 17th I saw one seize an old Razorbill, which was on a ledge with others, and carry it about 100 yards, when it fell into the sea. The "Mottled Gull," which I suppose is the young Herring Gull, was not seen since the 1st of May. They were seen again on August 5th, and will remain during winter.
