Cdlefidar of Nature, 



on the 1 1th of May, in the present year (1830), at Taxal in Cheshire; and, 

 on dissection, its food was found to have consisted chiefly of coleopterous 

 insects. This individual, which is an adult male in excellent plumage, is 

 deposited in the museum of the Society for the Promotion of Natural His- 

 tory established in Manchester. On the 19th of August last, a remarkably 

 fine specimen of the rose-coloured pastor (Pastor roseus) was shot near 

 Eccles, in the county of Lancashire, by Mr. Hindle, and now forms an inte- 

 resting addition to the Manchaster museum. From the beauty of its plu- 

 mage, this bird, previously to being examined anatomically, was confidently 

 pronounced to be a male; and the accuracy of this opinion was afterwards 

 confirmed by dissection. ,On opening its gizzard, and inspecting the con- 

 tents, I perceived that they consisted principally of the larvae of insects, the 

 indigestible parts o,f beetles, and a few seeds of vegetables. This elegant 

 species has,, I believe, been found to occur more frequently in Lancashire 

 than in ^ny oth^^p^yj^^of t|}je kingdom,,-!-'/. i?/ar>l«w//, CrwnpsaM Hall,
