found in Banffshire ; and in confirmation of this statement it 
may be added that Mr. Edward has this season (1864) seen 
three young, which were taken by a boy from a nest in a wood 
about six miles from Banff.

This bird is well known to build occasionally in the New 
Forest, Hampshire. A nest, found at Selborne in 1780, is re- 
corded by White. 
The nest has also been taken in Oxfordshire (Rev. A. Mat- 
thews). At Burnham Beeches, Berks (Mr. Blyth, in Charles- 
worth’s Mag. of Nat. Hist. i. p.539). In Northamptonshire, twice 
within the last ten years (Lord Lilford). Formerly in Warwick- 
shire (Mr. R. F. Tomes). Stafford (Zoologist, p.5097). Shrop- 
shire (Mr. H. Shaw). Northumberland (Mr. J. Hancock). In 
Cumberland, Mr. Heysham was informed that it bred in the 
woods at Lowther; and in Macgillivray’s ‘ British Birds’ (i. 
p- 261) mention is made of a nest taken by Mr. J. M. Brown in 
the woods of Abergeldie, in Aberdeenshire.

Once frequent, now nearly exterminated ; but still breeds oc- 
ceasionally in a few English counties. Much rarer in Scotland, 
where the nest has been found only in Haddington (Mr. d. 
Hepburn), in Perthshire (Mr. A. Pullar and Mr. J. Lamb), 
in Aberdeen and Banff (Mr. 7. Edward), and in Orkney (Mr. 
J. Dunn). From its scarcity in Scotland, the distribution of 
this species approaches to the English or southern type.
