158 ROCK THRUSH. 



at Cranbrook, Kent, where identity was made certain 

 by killing the bird on the nest, is recorded in the 

 Zoologist for 1886, p. 369. The nest resembles those 

 of the Blackbird and Ring Ouzel ; and the eggs are 

 somewhat similar but smaller. 



FIELDFARE. 



TURDUS PILARIS. 



Sub-family TuRDiN^. Genus Turdus. 



A commonly distributed winter visitor over the cul- 

 tivated parts of the British Isles, but the evidence of 

 it nesting here is doubtful. There seems no room to 

 doubt, however, that it nested at Alresford in Essex in 

 1869. The Fieldfare in appearance and habits is very 

 like the Missel Thrush, with which bird it is often 

 confused by casual observers. 



ARCTIC BLUE-THROATED ROBIN. 



ERITHACUS SUECICA. 



Sub-family Turdin^. Genus Erithacus. 



A very few instances of this bird visiting our shores 

 are recorded. 



ROCK THRUSH. 



MONTICOLA SAXATILIS. 

 Sub-family TuRDix.qi. Genus Monticola. 

 Has occurred two or three times.
