From Sir W. Jardine we learn that the Crested Titmouse annually 

 breeds in some plantations near Glasgow ; this locality may belong to 

 province XVI. and subprovince 32, instead of XIII. and 27 as entered 

 above. 



The Rev. George Gordon tells me that it breeds at Abernethy, on the 

 Spey ; and Mr. Dunbar describes it as plentiful in the woods of 

 Castle Grant, in Inverness -shire ; Montagu had already seen it 

 from the forest of Glenmoor all three localities being situated close 

 together on the confines of the counties of Inverness, Elgin, and 

 perhaps extending to Aberdeenshire and Banff. Further north the 

 bird has been seen on the Findhorn, and it nests regularly in Ross-shire 

 (Mr. W. Dunbar}. 



Yarrell mentions that the Crested Titmouse has been seen in the 

 Pass of Killiekrankie ; and Macgillivray notices a specimen killed in 

 Argyleshire.

 describes it as plentiful in the pine-forests of the north of Scotland.
