and throughout Scotland. The nest has also been found occasionally 

 in the Isle of Wight, Kent, Suffolk, Norfolk, Warwick, and Leicester. 

 Mr. Dunn tells me that the Ring-Ouzel breeds occasionally in Hoy;

Lat. 50-53. " English " or Southern type. Not in Ireland. 



The Rev. M. A. Mathews writes that the Golden Oriole has been 

 known to breed in some pleasure-grounds near Barnstaple. 



In Dorsetshire a male Golden Oriole was seen frequenting a garden 

 near Blandford for more than a week, and was supposed to have a nest 

 (Rev. O. Pickard- Cambridge, in 'Zoologist,' 1854, p. 4366). 



In Kent the nest has several times been found : in a plantation near 

 Ord, in 1836 (Zoologist, p. 834) ; near Elmstone, in 1849 (Zoologist, 

 p. 2496) ; near Sandwich (Zoologist, p. 3034). Mr. Charles Gordon, of 

 the Museum, Dover, mentions a nest taken near Elmstead ; and adds 

 that the bird appeared again in the same locality in 1861. 



Meyer, in his ' Illustrations of British Birds,' figures a nest taken in 

 Suffolk ; and Messrs. Sheppard and Whitear speak of a nest found in a 

 garden at Ormsby, in Norfolk. Mr. Alfred Newton tells me that the 

 eggs in Mr. Scales's collection, which were thought to have been taken 

 in Norfolk, were really procured from Holland.
