64 CATALOGUE OP THE BIRDS OF SUFFOLK. 



Marsh Titmouse, Parus palustris, L. 



S. and W. Cat. 23. Catalogued only. 



Districts all. Kecorded as common about Belton (Paget), 

 and Oakley (Clarke) ; as not uncommon at Leiston (in 

 March 1873, Eope), about Cockfield (C. B.), Sudbury 

 (King), and Gazeley (Tearle). Noticed also in various other 

 localities. Nests. Observed by Prof. Newton (Yarrell i. 

 495) to be not so generally distributed as some others of 

 the genus ; Mr. Moor has not observed it in District 3, 

 where it seems to be rare ; it has occurred however near 

 Melton (W. P. T. Phillips in litt.). Its name is not very 

 appropriate, as it often visits orchards and gardens (Newton 

 u. s.)' } a pair frequented the garden at The Thorne, 

 Shimpling, in 1882 (Mrs.Drake v. v.). 



Long-Tailed Titmouse,^ Acredula rosea (Blyth). 

 S. and W. Cat. 23. 



Districts all, recorded as common or not uncommon. It 

 was not seen at Great Bealings in 1869, '70, and '71, 

 though it had been common before those years, and again 

 became so afterwards (E. C. Moor in Z. 2607 and E. Moor 

 MS.). Nests. Sheppard and Whitear (u. s.) say it is pro- 

 vincially known as the Pudding-poke (from the bag-like 

 form of its nest) and as Capon Longtail.

% The Acredula candata (Dresser, S. in this species is white all over, and not 



of Eur., iii. n. 109, p. 67) has been met in the centre only, as in the common
