TH E bill of this fpecies agrees In lliape with 

 that of the rook, to which it bears great 

 fimilitude in Its manners, flying in flocks, and feed- 

 ing on infedls. In England it is a bird of pafl!age ; 

 it vifits us in the beginning of winter, and leaves 

 us with the woodcocks. They are found in the 

 inland as well as maritime parts of our country •, 

 in the latter they feed on crabs and fhelfi.fli. 



It is very common in Scotland: in many parts 

 of the Highlands^ and in all the Hebrides^ Orhiies^ 

 and Shetla7ids^ is the only fpecies of genuine crow ; 

 the Carrion and the Rook being unknown there. 

 It breeds and continues in thofe parts, the whole 

 year round. Perhaps thofe that inhabit the nor- 

 thern parts of Enro-pe^ are they which migrate here. 

 In the Highlands they build indifferently in all
