Genus XVII. PARUS. Linn. 
P. major, Temm. Man. d’Ornith. p. 287. 
Great TrrmousE.—In hard weather this and the two following 
species leave their native woods and resort to the immediate vici- 
nity of dwelling-houses, in order to avail themselves of what they 
can pick up. At such times I have observed that they will devour 
flesh with greediness, and may be caught in great numbers by a 
trap baited with suet. 
P. coeruleus, Temm. Man. d@ Ornith. p.289. 
BiLuE TiITMovseE. 
P. palustris, Temm. Man. d@’Ornith. p. 291. 
Marsu TrrMovuseE. 
_ P. ater, Temm. Man. d@’Ornith. p. 288. 
Cotr Trrmovusr.—Less frequent with us than any of the other 
species, though probably often overlooked from its strong resem- 
blance to the preceding. It may however be easily distinguished 
by its peculiar note independently of other characteristic marks. 
P. caudatus, Temm. Man. d’Ornith. p. 296. 
Lonc-raILED TiTMoUsE.—Very common in woods, constructing 
its singular nest in cedars, small firs, and trees of that kind. The 
young broods do not disperse when fledged, but follow the parent- 
birds through the autumn and winter. 
Genus XVII. EMBERIZA. Linn. 
E. citrinella, Temm. Man. d@Ornith. p.304. 
YELLow Buntinc.—In some places this species is known by 
the name of Writing Lark, from the peculiar markings on the egg, 
which have somewhat the appearance of written characters. 
E. Miliaria, Temm. Man. d’Ornith. p. 306. 
Common Buntine.—These birds being much attached to open 
cultivated ground and extensive corn lands, are extremely plentiful 
in Cambridgeshire where they are called Bunting Larks. ‘Towards 
the approach of winter they collect together in large flocks, and 
do not separate till the ensuing spring.
