448 The Zoologist— October, ISOO. 



Islands of Guernsey and Sark, as they are marked by Professor 

 Ansted, in his List of the Birds of the Channel Islands. They are far 

 more numerous than any other hawk ; indeed, except the sparrowhawk, 

 the only hawk I have seen in the Islands. 



Sparrowhawk. — Not nearly so common as the last. 



Spotted Flijcatclier. — Not quite so common as in England. 



Missel Thrush. — A few in Guernsey and Sark. I have not 

 observed it in either of the other Islands. 



Sony Thrush and Blackbird. — Tolerably common in all the 

 Islands. 



Hedyesparrow. — Not very common. 



Robin. — Much more common than the last. 



Stonechat, Whinchat and Wheatear. — All these three are very 

 common in all the Islands, the whinchat perhaps the least so, and the 

 stonechat certainly by far the most numerous of the three, as it may 

 be seen on almost every hedge, bush and wall._ These three are by 

 no means confined to the Islands of Guernsey and Sark, but are at 

 least equally common in Alderney, Jettro and Herm. 



Bla<;kcap. — Though called the Guernsey nightingale, I have not 

 found this bird very common, only having seen two or three specimens 

 during my visit. 



Chiffchajf. — I saw one specimen in Sark. 



Wren. — Tolerably common in all the Islands. 



Great Tit and Blue Tit. — The only species of tit 1 have been 

 able to find, and these not very common. 



Pied Waytail. — Tolerably common. 



Gray Waytail. — Not so connnon as the last. 



Tree Pipit. — Not very common. 



Meadow Pipit. — Much more common than the last. 



Rock Pipit. — By far the most common of the pipits, equally so in 

 all the Islands, and by no means confined to Guernsey. 



Sky Lark. — Very common indeed in all the Islands, the smallest 

 and dullest of which are constantly enlivened by the song of these 

 birds. 



Yellowhammer. — Not very common, though I have found a ie'w both 

 in Alderney and Herra, as well as in Guernsey and Sark. 



Chaffinch. — Common, though not so much so as in England. 



House Sparrow. — Very common everywhere. 



Greenfinch. — Rather common, more so than the chaffinch. 



Goldfinch. — Rather rare; I believe it used to be common, but
