in Essex and Northumberland. The Rev. J. Duns has seen the bird in 

 summer, in Linlithgow; and the Rev. T. M. Richards informs me that 

 he once found the nest and young of the larger Butcher-bird in Somerset, 

 and killed the old birds before he was aware of their rarity. I learn 

 from my friend, the Rev. W. H. Hawker, that the nest recorded by 

 him in the ' Ibis' for 1859 (p. 330) has proved to be that of the Red- 

 backed, not the Ash-coloured, Shrike.

A very local species. The nest has been occasionally found in 

 North Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Isle of Wight, Surrey, Oxford, Norfolk, 

 Gloucester, Shropshire, Leicester, and Derby. The bird breeds regu- 

 larly in a few counties of the north and west of England. 



In Scotland, the Rev. J. Duns is assured by a friend, upon whom he 

 can rely, that the Pied Flycatcher has occasionally bred in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Torphichen. 



Mr. T. Edward has seen the young which were taken near Aberdeen, 

 where the bird is said to breed occasionally ; and the species has several 

 times come under his notice in the counties of Banff and Aberdeen.
