and December. (W., H. W.) — Amager. Seen all the vear,

85. Serinus hortulanus, Koch. — Gulirisk. 



February 28th one, a female, was shot by Mr. Niels 

 O lesen in the plantation of Hjörring, Vendsyssel. It had 

 not been in Company with other birds. The specimen was 

 sent, in the flesh, to the Zoological Museum of Kjöbenhavn 

 by Mr. Julius Wulf f of Hjörring. No signs of confinement 

 were to be detected. The contents of the stomach were 

 particles of seeds of Brassica or other Cruciferae. — Not 

 previously noticed in Danmark. 



This occurence of Serinus hortulanus in Danmark 

 would have been interesting, if it had been certain that the 

 bird was really wild. But unfortunately the species has been 

 artificially introduced into some places in North-Germany, 

 so that the study of its natural geographical distribution 

 has been rendered almost impossible.
