{Mr. A. Hepburn], regularly in Linlithgow (Mr. T. D. Weir], and 

 occasionally in several other counties of subprovince 28. The Marsh- 

 Titmouse extends to Fifeshire, according to Macgillivray, and breeds 

 in Perthshire (Mr. A. Pullar and Mr. J. Lamb], occasionally in 

 Aberdeenshire (Mr. 2. Edward], and even as far north as Inverness 

 (Mr. W. Dunbar]. This bird can hardly be supposed wanting in 

 subprovinces 16 and 19, though it is not included in either list of the 

 nesting birds of Lincolnshire, where Mr. Adrian informs me that it has 

 only been noticed as a rare visitor. 



PARUS CAUDATUS (Linn.}. Long-tailed Titmouse. 



Provinces I.-XVII. 

 Subprovinces 1-35. 

 Lat. 50-59. " British " type, or general. 



Less frequent in the north of Scotland, but is described by Mr. 

 Dunbar as nesting regularly in Ross, Sutherland, and Caithness. Sir 

 W. Jardine considers that it does not reach nearly so far north as the 

 Coal -Titmouse. 



PAROIDES BIARMICUS (G.R. Gray}. Bearded Titmouse. 



Provinces [II.] III. IV. [V.] [VIII.] [IX.] [X.] 

 Subprovinces (6), 7, 8?, 10, 11, 12, (13?), 19, (21 ?), 23. 

 Lat. 50-53. " Germanic " type. Not in Ireland. 



A very local species, apparently now restricted to a few localities in 

 Norfolk and Suffolk, and to the reed-beds along the banks of the 

 Thames. Still breeds in Surrey (Rev. y. C. Atkinson] and probably in 

 Essex (where the bird has been noticed), in East Suffolk (Rev. J. Farr], 

 in Norfolk (Mr. H. Stevenson], and possibly in Lincolnshire, which is 

 one of the five counties mentioned by Hewitson. (See also Mr. J. D. 

 Hoy's account of this bird, in Loudon's ' Mag. of Nat. Hist.' vol. iii. 

 p. 328.) 



Extinct in Sussex (Mr. Knox] ; extinct also in Cambridgeshire and 

 Huntingdon (Mr. F. Bond]. 



Kent, Gloucester, and Cowbit in Lancashire are given as localities 

 by Montagu ; and Mr. Waterton tells me that a pair once built by the 

 side of the lake at Walton Hall. 



MOTACILLA YARRELLI (Gould}. Pied Wagtail. 

 Provinces I.-XVIII. 

 Subprovinces 1-37. 

 Lat. 45-60. " British" type, or general. 



Throughout the mainland, extending to the Outer Hebrides (Dr. D. 

 JDewar] and Orkney ; but does not breed in Shetland. 



Blasius considers the Pied Wagtail a local race of the next species.
