Lat. 50°-59°. “Scottish ” type, or Northern. 
The Crossbill appears to be an increasing species in Scotland, 
and, from having been more frequently found breeding in the 
northern counties, seems to belong rather to the “ Scottish ” 
than the “ British ” type, though the nest has occurred in scat- 
tered localities throughout Great Britain. 
Commencing from the south, the nest has been found in the 
following counties: —Devon (Zoologist, p. 39), Somerset (Mr. W. 
D. Crotch), Hants (Zoologist, p. 189), Sussex (Mr. W. Borrer), 
Kent (Mr. G. Jell), Surrey (Hewitson), Essex (Mr. H. Doubleday), 
Herts(M>. F. Bund), Norfolk (Sheppard and Whitear), Gloucester 
(Hewitson), Leicester (Harley), East York (Hewitson and 
Mr. A. 8S. Bell), West York (Mr. H. Reid), Durham and 
Northumberland (Mr. J. Hancock and Rev. H. B. Tristram), 
Cumberland (Mr. T. Hope), Dumfries (Mr. W. G. Gibson), Sel- 
kirk and Roxburgh (Rev. T. B. Bell), Linlithgow (Rev. J. Duns 
and Mr. T. D. Weir), Perth (Mr. A. Pullen), Banff (Mr. T. Ed- 
ward), Elgin (Rev. G. Gordon) ; and the bird is considered to 
breed regularly in Aberdeen, Inverness, Ross, and probably 
Sutherland.

Lat. 50°-61°.  “ British” type, or general. 
Throughout the mainland and isles, but is much more nume- 
rous in some districts than in others, and it has been observed 
to increase very rapidly in some counties where it formerly was 
hardly known. Sir W. Jardine marks the Starling as having 
bred regularly “ of late years only ” in Dumfriesshire; and 
Mr. Archibald Hepburn describes it as “a colonist ” in Had- 
dingtonshire.
