The Distribution of Birds in Great Britain. 403 



" Germanic type" birds which have their head -quarters in the south- 

 east of England, and become scarce as we advance to the north 

 and west ; for example, the Nightingale. 



" Atlantic type'' 1 birds which are more abundant on the western side 

 of Great Britain, or which have their head-quarters in the south- 

 west of England. 



" Scottish type" birds more abundant in Scotland than in England, and 

 which become less numerous as we advance south. 



" Highland type" mountain species, e.g. Snow Bunting, Golden Eagle, 

 and Dotterel.
