INSESSORES DENTIXOSTRES. PARIDM. 



61. PARUS MAJOR, Linnaeus. Great Titmouse. 

 Provincial. Blackcap, Ox-eye. 

 Plentiful and resident throughout the year. 



62. PARUS C^ERULEUS, Linnaeus. Blue Titmouse. 

 Provincial. Bluecap, Willow-biter. 

 Generally distributed. 



63. PARUS ATER, Linnaeus. Coal Titmouse. 



Not uncommon ; resident throughout the year, but 

 of more common occurrence in the winter. 



64. PARUS PALUSTRIS, Linnaeus. Marsh-Titmouse. 



Not nearly as numerous as the preceding, but of 

 late years oftener met with than formerly. I have 

 never taken the nest of the Marsh-Titmouse in this 

 neighbourhood, but have no doubt whatever that it 

 breeds annually with us, as we find them in some of 

 our low-lying plantations throughout the year. 



65. PARUS CAUDATUS, Linnaeus. Long -tailed Titmouse. 



Provincial. Bottle-Tit. 



Plentifully distributed, a resident throughout the 

 year, and collecting in small flocks in the autumn.
