436 Practical Game Preserving. 



Flesh Crow, the Hoody, the Black-Neb (from its beak), 

 and the Black Crow, to distinguish it from the Hooded 

 Crow, one of the Corvidae which, though not a common 

 visitant in our southern counties, is well enough known in 

 the northern ones and in the sister countries. It does not 

 breed in England, but on the wild sea-coast of North 

 Scotland and the adjacent isles it multiplies greatly. As 

 far as its other habits go, it is similar to the Carrion 

 Crow, excepting only that its voracity for animals and 

 birds, especially of a " game " nature, is greater, and con- 

 sequently more obnoxious to sportsmen. It is known by 

 a great variety of names, the most common being Royston, 

 Dun, Norway, Grey, Greybacked, and Kentish Crow.
