Tue Harlequin Garrot (so named from the singular Very rare 
marking of the wale bird’s plumage) is one of our rarest Vt 
winter visitants, the instances of its capture being confined 
to three or four, all of which occurred in the northern parts 
of Scotland. It inhabits the northern regions of both the 
old and new continents, and is a well-known species in the 
north-eastern parts of Europe. In Siberia, Kamtschatka, 
and other countries of Asia it is equally abundant. In Ame- 
rica, during its summer migration, it is met with in the inte- 
rior of the country round Hudson’s Bay, and also in the vi- 
cinity of the Rocky Mountains, where Dr RicHarpson de- 
scribes it as haunting the eddies under cascades, and amongst 
rapid streams. It is a bird of shy disposition and very vigi- 
lant ; and (contrary to the habit of the other Garrots) takes 
wing at once when disturbed, flying swiftly, and at a great 
Aa
