(Holbill.) . 
Sturnus vulgaris.* Linn. (Starling. ) 
Europe generally ; the Azores; Northern

Corvip= 
Corvus corax.* Linn. 
Scattered over nearly the whole con- 
tinent ; rarer in the United States east 
of the Mississippi. 
The variety carnivorus is claimed for 
the American bird, as having the bill

brighter than the European, especially 
in specimens from Southern North 
America. (Baird, Brewer, and Ridg- 
way.) 
Pica caudata var. hudsonica.* Bp. 
Northern North America, and from the 
Missouri river to the Pacific; in winter

rather larger, with a comparatively 
longer tail, and the voice is said to be 
Corvus coraz.* Linn. (Raven.) 
Northern Europe, and Asia, becoming 
rarer towards the south. 
Dresser considers this bird identical with 
the American; he says, he ‘cannot 
find that these differences hold good, 
for in the series I have examined, I

specimens with the plumage fully as 
brightly burnished, and not differing 
in the least shade of colour from 
American examples.” 
Pica caudata.* (L.) Flem. (Magpie.) 
According to Mr. Dresser it is pretty 
generally distributed over Europe. 
Common in Cyprus; once found in 
Malta (Wright.) Siberia; Persia; 
the Himalyas; China, and Japan.
