STURNIDAI—CORVIDE 1 
104. ZoNoTRICHIA ALBICOLLIS, Bonap. White-throated Bunting. 
February 13th, 1893, an adult male of this North American species 
was shot by Mr. G. W. Jalland, of Holderness House, near Hull [' Zool.,’ 
1893, pp. 149-50; ‘ Nat.,’ 1893, pp. 118-14.]. This is the third occur- 
rence, all on the east coast of Great Britain. It is now in Mr. Jalland’s 
collection. 
Family STURNIDAZ. 
105. Sturnus vuueaRis, Linn. Starling. 
Very common, resident and nesting. Has greatly increased in recent 
years. In the autumn enormous immigratory flocks arrive on the east 
coast in September, October and November, and occasionally later. 
These immigrant starlings have purple heads. They leave again late in 
spring, and often weeks after our resident green-headed birds have 
commenced nesting. 
106. Pastor rosEus (Linn.). Rose-colowred Starling. 
Three occurrences between 1877 and 1884, all in the Spurn district 
and in autumn. The last, an adult female, August 30th, 1884, and 
another seen. 
107. Sturnus unicoxor, de la Marmora. Sardinian Starling. 
One recorded [‘ Nat.,’ 1886, p. 307] by Mr. J. Backhouse, said to 
have been shot near Howden in 1840. 
Family CORVID &. 
108. NucrFrRaGA CARYOCATACTES (Linn.). Nutcracker. 
One, in the Lincoln Museum, was killed near Sleaford in the county 
in 1833 [* Zool.,’ 1893, p. 153]. On November 6th, 1888, one, in Mr. 
. Haigh’s collection, was shot near Marshchapel on the coast [‘ Zool.,’ 
1889, p. 153; ‘ Nat.,’ 1889, p. 44.]. 
109. GARRULUS GLANDARIUS (Linn.). Jay. 
Common, resident and nesting in the wooded parts of the district. Is 
also an occasional autumn immigrant in October and November. This 
was specially observable in 1880, 1886, 1890 and 1892. 
110. Pica rustica (Scop.). Magpie. 
Common, resident and nesting in all parts of district. In 1887, on 
October 14th, with a strong N.E. gale, very many appeared in the coast 
district of North-east Lincolnshire, and a dozen were seen together, a 
number which no local conditions could account for. 
111. Corvus mongepuLA, Linn. Daw. 
Common, resident and increasing. Immense numbers come in from 
the east in October and November with the grey crows and rooks. 
Great many nest on the Flamborough cliffs and are notorious egg 
stealers. 
112. Corvus corax, Linn. Raven. 
Not now resident. Very rarely on migration in October and 
November, and on return in March. About 1835, a pair nested at 
Flamborough.
