The Scalers, or Creepers of the Wall. (Tichodroma. 



Illiger.) 



Have not the tail worn, although they climb along 

 walls and rocks, as the common creepers do on trees ; 

 but they fasten themselves by their very large claws. 

 Their bill is triangular, and depressed at the base, 

 very long, and very slender. 



But one species is known, which inhabits the south 

 of Europe. (Certhia Muraria. L.) Enl. 372. It 

 is a handsome bird, of a clear ash colour, with a 

 lively red on the wing-coverts, and on the edges of 

 a portion of the quills of the wing. The throat of 

 the male is black. 



This is the genus Petrodroma, of Vieil.
