157. PvRRnuLA RURiciLLA (Pall.). Silvolto ; Pirok; Ha- 

 vasi Pinty (Moimtaiu-Fincli). 



Rather common, frequenting the mountain-woods during 

 the breeding-season, and later in the year appearing in the 

 low country in considerable numbers. 



Obs. Bieltz says this is the only member of the family 

 which has hitherto been observed in Transylvania; but there 

 is little doubt that Carpodacus erythrinus (Pall.) and P. enu- 

 cleator (L.) do occur, as they have both been found by Herr 

 Petenyi on the adjoining Hungarian frontier, and Graf Lazar 

 says he is sure the former has occurred near Tolgycs. 



158. LoxiA cuRViRosTRA (L.). Kevesztorru Mculdr. 

 Common among the pines and firs in many parts of the 



country. 



^159. CoccoTHRAUSTES VULGARIS (Pall.). MagtUru Mciddr ; 

 Meygyvdgo (Weichsel-biter) . 



We met with the Hawfinch pretty frequently in the Gorgeny 

 district among woods and gardens. It does not remain over 

 the winter. 



^160. Sturnus vulgaris, L. Sei'egely (A crowd) . 

 Generally common. Migratory. 



161. Pastor ROSE us (Linn.). Rozsds Rigo (Ko&j Thrw^) . 



This bird is of very uncertain appearance in the country. 

 In 1835 it was very abundant at Hermannstadt. They gene- 

 rally come about June, and are found in company with the 

 Starlings. Herr Otto states that they were very abundant 

 in the Mezoseg in 1868 (A Mezoseg II. &e.), and he ob- 

 served them there on the 30th May and 4th June. 



*162. Oriolus galbula, L. Sdrga Rigo (Yellow Thrush) . 



Generally common on the outskirts of large woods and in 

 gardens. We found them at Ziih and Gorgeny, and in the 

 oak-woods at Sztjina, near Klausenburg. They come in the 

 beginning of May ; and the old males generally leave in 

 August. 



^163. Pyrrhocorax alpinus (Vieill.). 



Rare, and only to be met with among the high mountains,
