BRITISH BIRDS. 



THE PIED FLYCATCHER. 



THE figure here given was taken from a bird 

 shot in the middle of May, by the late Rev. Ralph 

 Brocklebank, of Corbridge-on-Tyne, who said it is 

 only to be seen in the spring and summer months. 

 A distinct ridge runs along the upper mandible; 

 and in plumage it agrees with the foregoing de- 

 scription of the birds sent from Benton, but was of 

 a lesser size, and except a ridge on the bill, it 

 resembled a Titmouse.
