THE HOODED CEOW. 



Corvus comix. 

 cinerea. 



VARIETY of names have been 

 bestowed upon this bird in dif- 

 ferent localities ; indeed, it can 

 boast of as lengthened a list of 

 appellations as most individuals 

 of the feathered tribes. Hoody, 

 Dun Crow, Bunting 1 Crow, 

 Grey Crow, Royston Crow, 

 and Greyback may be enume- 

 rated as amongst its aliases, 

 without by any means exhaust- 

 ing the list. 



The bird is partially migra- 

 tory, entirely so as regards 

 certain parts of our own coun- 

 try, where it is seen in the 

 southern counties only in the 

 winter and spring, and gene- 

 rally between the months of 

 October and April. 



The Hooded Crow exhibits 

 a considerable resemblance to 

 the Carrion Crow in many of 

 its habits, but it confines itself more strictly to the sea-
