38 Mr. J. Whitehead's Ornithuloykal 



Out of some twenty nests I found only one which had the 

 salmonrcoloured eggs. 



81. Alpine Chough. Pyrrhocorax alpinus. 



Several large flocks seen, but I was unable to identify them 

 until the 16th March, 1884. The natives assured me that 

 these birds did not remain to nest, but I am much inclined to 

 think that they do. 



82. Common Chough. Pyrrhocorax graculus. 



On January 29th I saw five of these birds, but having 

 only small shot, failed to kill one. I saw five birds in the 

 same place again on 16tli March. 



83. Common Jay. Garrulus glundarlus. 



Fairly common and resident. A boy brought me five eggs 

 on 1st June. 



84. Jackdaw. Corvus monedula, 



A few seen in the winter along Avith the large flocks of 

 Rooks which winter on the east coast. 



85. Carrion-Crow. (Jorvus corone. 

 Rare ; a few seen during the winter. 



86. HoouEJ) Crow. Corvus comix. 



Very common and resident ; many nests taken after 26th 

 April. 



87. Rook. Corvus fruyilegiis. 



Very common on the east coast during the Manter, begins 

 to get scarce towards the end of February ; not seen after the 

 beginning of March. 



88. Common Raven. Corvus corax. 



Fairly common and resident; three nests taken in 1884 on 

 11th and 16th April and 2nd May. 



89. Common Starling. Sturnus vulgaris. 



Seen in small flocks during the winter ; not noticed after 

 the end of February.
