Alauda arborea, Card. elegans, Lin. montana and Pyrr. vul-

Plect. nivalisisa regular winter visitant to the North of Ireland, 
but little known in the South ; Fring. Montifringilla is a fre- 
quent, perhaps a regular visitant at.the same period. Coce. 
vulgaris, Card. Spinus, and Loxia curvirostra occasionally 
visit us in winter, the first-mentioned being the most rare, and 
occurring in the fewest numbers ; the last-named has in some 
instances bred in Ireland. Pyrr. Enucleator would seem 
from a note of Mr. Templeton’s to have been once met with 
near Belfast. Lowxia leucoptera has been obtained on one 
occasion.
