 'the Chough and Crow' seem fated to be associated together. 



This bird is a native of the three continents of the old 

 world. It is known to inhabit France, the mountains of 

 Switzerland, Spain, the Island of Crete, Egypt, and the north 

 of Africa, the mountains of Persia, the southern parts of 

 Siberia, and the Himalayan mountains in India. 



In Yorkshire, one of these birds was killed by the gamekeeper 

 of Eandall Gossip, Esq., of Hatfield, near Doncaster. Two 

 others are spoken of; one as having been shot near Sheffield, 

 and another mentioned by Mr. J. Heppenstall, to Mr. Allis; 

 but it seems doubtful whether they are not referable to the 

 same specimen. 



In Cornwall, the Chough has formerly been plentiful, but 

 seems to be getting rare; that county, in fact, would seem 

 to have been its main stronghold, the name of 'Cornish Chough' 

 appearing to have been used as a term of reproach, as, for 

 instance, to Tressilian, in 'Kenilworth.' The Dover cliffs, and 

 those of Beachy Head and Eastbourne, in Sussex; the Isle of 

 Pin-beck, in Dorsetshire; Devonshire, and the Isle of Wight,
