32 BIRDS. 



TOO. Loxia pityopsittacus Bechst. Parrot Crossbill. 



Accidental visitant from Northern Europe, of rare occurrence. 



Flamborough, female shot by Mr. Bailey, Aug. 4, 1866 

 (Boulton, Zool., 1867, p. 543). 



101. Loxia curvirostra L. Common Crossbill. 



Winter visitant, irregular both in appearance and numbers, 

 sometimes appearing in immense flights. Occasionally 

 solitary pairs remain to breed. Has nested at Boynton 

 near Bridlington in 1829, and at Bramham, where several 

 nests were found in 1840 (Allis). At Plumpton, near 

 Harrogate, in July, 1876, I saw two old birds accompanied 

 by four young ones. Young birds just from the nest 

 have been observed by the keeper at Gilling-in-Ryedale 

 (Brigham, MS.).

two females were obtained, Dec. 27, 1^45 (Milner, Zool.,

bill. 



Sub-fam. EMBERIZIN&. 



104. Emberiza melanocephala Scop. Black-headed 



Bunting. 



105. Emberiza miliaria L. Common Bunting. 



Resident, rather locally distributed, but common. Consider- 

 able arrivals occur in the autumn. I have observed that 

 the species is most abundant in the immediate vicinity of 

 the coast.

Resident, generally distributed, abundant. Large arrivals are 

 observed in autumn, migrating north again in spring, often 

 in very large flocks.
