CROWS. 31 



CAEEION CROW. Corvus corone, Linnaeus. 



Kesident, but rare in the eastern counties of Eng- 

 land, as well as in some parts of Scotland and in 

 Ireland. 



HOODED CEOW. Corvus cornix, Linnaeus. 



Resident in Scotland and Ireland ; a winter visitant 

 to the east and south of England ; rare in the south- 

 west. In Scotland it is said to pair habitually with 

 the Carrion Crow, and on this account has been re- 

 garded by some naturalists as specifically identical 

 with that bird. See Sir W. Jardine's British Birds/

 Birds,' vol. iii. p. 721 ; Thompson's ' Nat. Hist, of 

 Ireland, Birds,' vol. i. p. 309 ; Gray's ' Birds of the 

 West of Scotland,' p. 170 ; Colquhoun's < Sporting 

 Days,' p. 104 ; and Baron de Selys-Longchamps in 

 The Ibis,' 1870, pp. 450, 451.

 migrant to the eastern coasts of England.

 bourhood of sea-cliffs.
