where, on still sunny days, we saw many of them at the edges 

 of the reed-beds. 



■^74. ^GiTHALus PENDULiNus (L.) . Fuffffo CzinJce. 



Rare. Herr Klir, when with us, saw three at a lake near 

 Zah, in the Mezoseg. Bieltz says that he received a nest and 

 eggs which were taken on the Maros river, near Karlshurg, 

 and that it has also been found on the lakes at To vis. Herr 

 Otto remarks that this species only came once (1872) to the 

 Mezoseg, and then disappeared quickly. 



*75. AcREDULA CAUDATA (L.). Oszi upo (Little Grey 

 Father) . 



Common everywhere among the leafy woods. All the 

 long-tailed Tits that we obtained were of this species, having 

 white heads and pale yellow eyelids ; the latter are conspicuous 

 even in the newly flown young f. 



*7Q. Parus CiERULEUs, L. Kek Czinke. 

 Common everywhere. 



*77. Parus major, L. Szen Czinke (Coal Tit). 

 Common everywhere. 



*78. Parus ater, L. Feny'6 Czinke (Pine Tit). 



Common among the mountain pine-woods. We found 

 them on the Fanczal hills, and once saw a pair in a little wood 

 near Tohat. 



■^79. Parus palustris, L. Moczdri Czinke. 

 Common everywhere, but most numerous in the pine- 

 woods. 



*80. Parus lugubris, Natt. Gydsz Czinke. 



Not uncommon. In the early part of the year it frequents 

 mountain localities, living among rocks and brushwood, but 

 descends in the autumn to the low country, where it gene- 

 rally haunts the plum-orchards. Danford saw it in October 

 at Hatzeg. 



t We believe that this character, so completely distinguishing the pre- 

 sent bird at all ages from the British form {A. rosea, Blyth), in which the 

 eyelids are red, was first noticed by Messrs. Alston and Harvie Brown in 

 Norway {cf. Dresser, ' Birds of Europe,' pt. 14).
