4.2 Mr. A. G. More on the Distribution of Birds 
In the neighbourhood of Glasgow, Mr. R. Gray describes the 
Hooded Crow as constantly pairing with the Carrion-Crow, and 
says this is the rule rather than the exception ; and in Rennie’s 
‘ Field Naturalist’ (1833, p. 279) Mr. Blyth records that the 
same observation has been made near Inverness. This circum- 
stance is greatly in favour of the opinion that the two birds are 
races of the same species. 
Blasius treats the Hooded Crow as variety 3 of C. corone. 
Corvus rrueitecus (Linn.). Rook. 
Provinces I.-X VII. 
Subprovinces 1-35.

(Mr. R. J. Shearer) ; not, however, extending to the Western or 
Northern Isles.

Provinces I.—X VIII. 
Subprovinces 1-35, 37. 
Lat. 50°-60°, “ British” type, or general. 
To the extreme north of Scotland; and a few pairs breed in 
South Ronaldshay (Low, and Baikie and Heddle). 
Pica caupata (Flem.). Magpie. 
Provinces I.—X VIII. 
Subprovinces 1-35. 
Lat. 50°-59°.  “ British ” type, or general.

Scottish isles. 
GARRULUS GLANDARIUS (Leach). Jay.

Throughout England, reaching as far north as the middle of 
Scotland. Maegillivray describes the Jay as “ found here and 
there in the woods skirting the Grampians, from Forfar to Dum- 
barton, and in all the more or less wooded districts southward.”
