262 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 



11. Cypselus apiis (L.) Swift. About a dozen pairs frequent 



Mingary Castle, in holes, in whose ruins they breed. 



12. Hirundo nistica, L. Swallow. Plentiful. Both this species 



and the following have increased in numbers very much 

 since the erection of a number of farm-houses and other 

 buildings in the district, with projecting roofs, under the 

 eaves of which they build their nests. 



13. Chelidon urbica (L.) House Martin. Not so common as the 



preceding, the remarks on which, however, apply to this 

 species also. 

 U. Certhia familiarls, L. Creeper. Pretty common in the 

 wooded district. 



15. Troglodytes ])arvulus, Koch. Wren. Common. 



16. Calamodyta naevia (Bodd.) Grasshopper AVarbler. This 



species I believe to be more common than appears, owing 

 to its very retiring habits. I found a nest at Glenborro- 

 dale in 1868. 



17. Sijlvia rufa (Bodd.) Whitethroat. Common. 



18. Phyllojmeuste i/rochilus (L.) Willow Warbler. Common. 



19. Eegidus cristakis, Koch. Golden-crested Wren. Common in 



the wooded district. 



20. Etiticilla ijlioenicurus (L.) Eedstart. More common than I 



have observed in lowland districts, and building their nests 

 frequently in the breastworks of the public roads, regardless 

 of the noise made by passing vehicles overhead. 



21. Erythacus nd)ccida (L.) Robin. Common. 



22. Saxlcola aenanthe (L.) Wheatear. Common, but very local 



in its distribution. 



23. Fratincola rubetra (L.) Whinchat. Sparingly distributed. 



24. Praiincola rubicola (L.) Stonechat. Not very common. 



25. Accentor modidaris (L.) Hedge Accentor. Common.

29. Acredula rosea, Blyth.* Long-tailed Titmouse. Occasionally 



common ; at other times none are to be seen. 



* Though following generally the nomenclature of Mr Wharton's " List of 

 British Birds," Van Voorst, 1877, I have in this instance departed from it, as 

 Acredula caudata (L.) is generally understood to be the White-headed 

 Continental form originally discovered by Linnaeus.
