28 Mr. A. G. More on the Distribution of Birds 
Parvs cristatus (Linn.). Crested Titmouse. 
Provinces XIII.? XV. XVII. 
Subprovinces 27 ?, 31, 34. 
Lat. 56°-58°. “Scottish” type. Not in Ireland. 
From Sir W. Jardine we learn that the Crested Titmouse 
annually breeds in some plantations near Glasgow: this locality 
may belong to province XVI. and subprovince 82, instead of 
XIII. and 27 as entered above. 
The Rev. George Gordon tells me that it breeds at Abernethy, 
on the Spey; and Mr. Dunbar describes it as plentiful in the 
woods of Castle Grant, in Inverness-shire; Montagu had already 
seen it from the forest of Glenmoor,—all three localities being 
situated close together on the confines of the counties of Inver- 
ness, Elgin, and perhaps extending to Aberdeenshire and Banff. 
Further north the bird has been seen on the Findhorn, and it 
nests regularly in Ross-shire (Mr. W. Dunbar). 
Yarrell mentions that the Crested Titmouse has been seen in 
the Pass of Killiekrankie; and Macgillivray notices a specimen 
killed in Argyleshire. 
Parus ATER (Linn.). Coal-Titmouse. 
Provinces I.—X VII. 
Subprovinces 1-35. 
Lat. 50°-59°. “ British” type, or general. 
Mr. Dunbar finds the nest as far north as Sutherland. The 
late Mr. St. John also noticed the bird in the same county ; and 
Macgillivray describes it as plentiful in the pine-forests of the 
north of Scotland. 
Parus paLustris (Linn.). ° Marsh-Titmouse. 
Provinces I.-XII. XIV. XV. 
Subprovinces 1-25, 28, 29, 30. 
Lat. 50°-58°. “English” type, or Southern. 
Throughout England and Wales, becoming scarce in Scotland, 
where it is mostly found in the Lothians. Nests regularly in 
Haddington (Mr. A. Hepburn), regularly in Linlithgow (Mr. 
T. D. Weir), and occasionally in several other counties of sub- 
province 28. The Marsh-Titmouse extends to Fifeshire, ac- 
cording to Macegillivray, and breeds in Perthshire (Mr. 4.
