76 PENDULINE TIT. 



My figures of this bird are from specimens kindly sent me by the 

 Rev. H. Tristram. The egg is from my own collection, in which there 

 are fifteen specimens. It was taken in South Russia by Herr Glitsch, 

 and is easily distinguished by its size and shape from the egg of 

 every other European bird. The nest is after Gould. 



It has also been figured by Buffon, pi. enl. 618, fig. 3, and 708, 

 the young before the first moult under the name of Mesange de 

 Languedoc; P. Roux, Ornith. Prov., pi. 124, fig. 1, adult male; fig. 2, 

 head of young; Bouteille, Ornith. du Dauph., pi. 31, fig. 6; Gould, 

 B. of E., pi. 159; Naumann, Vogel. Deutsch., vol. iv., pi. 97, male, 

 female, young, and nest; Temminck, Atlas; Vieillot, Faun. Franc, pi. 

 50, fig. 2 and 8; Albin, vol. iii., pi. 57; Bechstein, Naturg. Deut.,
