Guðfnnsson2 · Enikő Bali2,3 · O. Tapani Rämö1 · Tobias Fusswinkel4 · Thorvaldur Thordarson2,3 Received: 1 December 2018 / Accepted: 26 April 2019 / Published online: 13 May 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract We present new high-precision major and trace element data on olivine macrocrysts from various volcano-tectonic settings in Iceland and use these data as a proxy for mantle mode and melting conditions. Within individual sampling sites examined (seven lavas and one tephra) olivine-dominated fractional crystallization, magma mixing and difusive re-equilibration control observed variability in olivine composition. High-pressure fractional crystallization of clinopyroxene may have lowered Ca and increased Fe/Mn in one olivine population and subsolidus difusion of Ni and Fe–Mg afected the mantle-derived Ni/Fo ratio in some compositionally zoned olivine macrocrysts. Interestingly, magmas erupted at the southern tip of the Eastern Volcanic Zone (SEVZ), South Iceland, have olivines with elevated Ni and low Mn and Ca contents compared to olivines from elsewhere in Iceland, and some of the SEVZ olivines have relatively low Sc and V and high Cr, Ti, Zn, Cu and Li in comparison to depleted Iceland rift tholeiite. In these olivines, the high Ni and low Mn indicate relatively deep melting (Pfnal > 1.4 GPa, ~ 45 km), Sc, Ti and V are compatible with low-degree melts of lherzolite mantle, and elevated Zn may suggest modal (low-olivine) or geochemical (high Zn) enrichment in the source.

    VOL. LI FEBRUARY No. 2 1958 BRITISH BIRDS THE BIRDS OF TIREE AND COLL By J. MORTON BOYD (Department of Zoology, Glasgow University*) (Plates 18-20) THE islands of Tiree and Coll, Inner Hebrides, lie totally within the vice-county Mid Ebudes (103). Situated between Mull and the Barra Isles, they stretch some 45 miles S.W. into the ocean from Ardnamurchan, the most westerly headland of the Scottish main­ land. Their geographical position, and separate scale maps of each, are shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. This work is concerned with records of all species of bird observed, from the earliest literature to the present day, not only on Tiree and Coll, but also on all islands and rocks between and including Eilein Mor, N.E. of Coll, and Skerryvore, S.W. of Tiree. The islands are a low undulating platform of Lewisian gneiss masked extensively by raised beach material and wind-blown sand. The sand deposits are particularly widespread in Tiree and S.W. Coll, but in N.W. Coll there are considerable tracts of bare rock. The terrain rises to its highest point (460 feet) in Ben Hynish, Tiree. The principal ecological divisions of the islands are: (i) an intertidal zone, including extensive beaches of shell-sand inter­ spaced with rocky shores trenched by eroded dykes, and fringed with skerries; (ii) grazed sand-dune systems landward to the shore sand, and moorland altered by salt-spray landward to the rocky shores (the only substantial sea-cliffs are at Ceann a'Mhara, Tiree); (iii) machair or sea-meadow, and cultivated calcareous grassland covering wide tracts of Tiree and S.W.
