Birds. 2641 



Blackbird. Very common. I received a young bird, but very 

 much mutilated by shooting, — perfectly white, — from Carmarthen. 

 Piebald varieties are not uncommon. 



Ring Ouzel. Rare. I obtained one specimen, killed at Angle, 

 which is now in the collection of Viscount Emlyn, at Stackpole 

 Court. 



Hedgesparrow. Very common. This species is very subject to 

 warts on the beak and legs : how can this be accounted for ? 



Redbreast. Common. 



Redstart. Rather rare. 



Black Redstart. Very rare. Two examples occurred here in the 

 autumn of 1847; one killed by Mr. George Hughes, of the Coburg 

 Hotel, Tenby, on the eaves of the hotel, and very much mutilated ; 

 the other by me, with an air-cane loaded with small shot, on the 

 water-trough of my neighbour's house in the street of Pembroke, and 

 is now in Viscount Emlyn's collection, at Stackpole Court. 



Stonechat. Very common ; remaining all the year. 



Whinchat. Rather scarce. 



Wheatear. Very common on our downs and warrens ; arriving in 

 April and leaving in October. 



Grasshopper Warbler. Not very common ; leaves in winter. 



Sedge Warbler. Like the last-named species, not very common. 



Blackcap. Common : arrives early in April, leaves in September. 



Garden Warbler. A specimen obtained by me in September last 

 is the only one I have seen, and is now in Viscount Emlyn's col- 

 lection. 



Common Whitethroat. As its name implies, very common; arrives 

 the latter end of March, and a few individuals stay as late as the first 

 week in November. 



Wood Warbler. Scarce. Although 1 can mostly procure a few 

 specimens the latter end of April or the first week in May, 1 think 

 they do not stay here to breed, for I have never found them later ; 

 and being so well acquainted with the voices of the other warblers, 

 the peculiar twitter of the wood warbler could not have escaped me. 



Willow Warbler. Very common. 



Chiff-chafF. Also very common. I have seen specimens of this 

 bird in December, January and February, in very severe weather. 



Golden-crested Regulus. Common and plentiful the year round. 



Great Tit, Blue Tit, Cole Tit, Marsh Tit and Long-tailed Tit. 

 Common throughout the year. 



Pied Wagtail. Common. I have long had my suspicions that
