however, considerably reduced their numbers, thou^'h 

 small parties, I believe, still make their appearance in 

 the neighbourhood of their former haunts. 



The specimens in the case were shot in the back- 

 water at Rye Nook, in Sussex, in September, 1858. 



STONE CHAT.— (Autumn.) 



Case 303. 



The present case shows the more sober colouring that 

 this species exhibits during the autumn and winter 

 months. 



The specimens were shot between Shoreham and 

 Lancing, in Sussex, in September, 1875. 



BULLFINCH. 



Case 304. 



This well-known bird is met with in most parts of 

 the British Islands. 



Though apparently rather out of their latitude, I 

 observed a small flock one winter amongst the stunted 

 fir-trees and rough stones near the summit of the hills 

 to the north of Glenlyon, in Perthshire ; the Bulllinch 

 may, however, be found during summer in most of the 

 Highland glens where there is suilicient cover to 

 provide them with nesting quarters. 



The specimens in the case were obtained near 

 riumpton, in Sussex, in January, 1870.
