BRITISH BIRDS. 



The female differs from the male, the hinder 

 part of her head only being red, and in some 

 specimens the red is entirely wanting; the black 

 parts of her plumage are also duller. They form 

 their nest in the deep hollows of old trees, and lay 

 two or three white eggs. The figure was taken 

 from a stuffed specimen in the museum of the 

 Hon. H. T. Liddell.
