Cornish Chough, Red-legzed Crow, Cornish Daw, Cornwall 
Kae, Market-jew Crow, Chauk Daw, Hermit Crow, Cliff Daw, 
&ce.—A bird which occurs more sparingly than it used to do. Its 
abiding and building place is among the steep rocks which line so 
many parts of the British coasts. In the Isle of Wight, in Man, 
onthe Cornish shores, at Flamborough, in Berwickshire near St. 
Abb’s Head, it is still (or was till lately) known to breed.

wool and hair, in the cavities of high cliffs, or in old castles, or 
church towers near the sea; laying four or five eggs of a yellowish 
white colour, spotted with ash-grey and light brown.”—J%g. 2, 
plate V.

Corbie, Corbie Crow, Great Corbie Crow.—I dare say the 
acquaintance of many of us with this fine bird is limited to an 
introduction to some tame or pet Raven. In this district, where, 
I believe, these birds abounded half a century since—the rocky 
cliffs of our moorland solitudes bemg so well suited to their 
nabits,—I do not know that I have seen or heard one for the last 
two or three years. Persecuted by the gamekeeper, sought after 
for domestication, or their eggs taken for sale to the collector, they 
are becoming very rare in many a part of the country where not long 
since they were frequently seeu. They build sometimes on old ruins
