  THE 
  ZOOLOGIST. 
  

  

  was 
  occupied 
  by 
  a 
  swarm 
  of 
  bees. 
  Two 
  pairs 
  of 
  Spotted 
  

   Flycatchers 
  were 
  nesting 
  near 
  the 
  church. 
  We 
  also 
  came 
  across 
  

   the 
  Spotted 
  Flycatcher 
  in 
  the 
  north, 
  in 
  the 
  wooded 
  valley 
  

   between 
  Cemmaes 
  and 
  Ehosbeirio, 
  the 
  churchyard 
  at 
  Llan- 
  

   fechell, 
  and 
  near 
  Llanbadrig. 
  In 
  the 
  east 
  it 
  is 
  plentiful. 
  

  

  The 
  Blue 
  Tit 
  is 
  undoubtedly 
  the 
  commonest 
  Titmouse 
  ; 
  in 
  

   the 
  east 
  it 
  is 
  abundant, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  far 
  from 
  rare 
  in 
  the 
  north. 
  The 
  

   Great 
  Tit, 
  though 
  occurring 
  in 
  some 
  numbers 
  in 
  the 
  east, 
  is 
  

   uncommon 
  in 
  the 
  north 
  ; 
  we 
  found 
  young 
  in 
  the 
  nest 
  in 
  a 
  wall 
  

   at 
  Cae 
  Mawr, 
  near 
  Llanerchymedd, 
  and 
  another 
  nest, 
  also 
  

   containing 
  young, 
  in 
  a 
  wall 
  at 
  Coedana 
  on 
  June 
  11th. 
  We 
  only 
  

   met 
  with 
  the 
  Coal-Tit 
  in 
  the 
  east, 
  and 
  did 
  not 
  see 
  the 
  Marsh 
  Tit 
  

   anywhere. 
  Even 
  in 
  the 
  east 
  the 
  Coal-Tit 
  is 
  not 
  common 
  ; 
  we 
  

   saw 
  two 
  at 
  Plas 
  Bodafon, 
  one 
  in 
  Lligwy 
  Woods, 
  one 
  in 
  a 
  gorse- 
  

   patch 
  near 
  Lligwy, 
  and 
  a 
  pair 
  feeding 
  young 
  which 
  could 
  fly 
  

   near 
  Llanerchymedd. 
  Mr. 
  Cummings 
  saw 
  a 
  single 
  Long-tailed 
  

   Tit 
  in 
  Lligwy 
  Woods 
  on 
  June 
  6th, 
  but 
  we 
  did 
  not 
  meet 
  with 
  the 
  

   bird 
  elsewhere. 
  

  

  The 
  Wren 
  is 
  everywhere 
  abundant. 
  A 
  nest 
  of 
  this 
  species, 
  

   built 
  against 
  the 
  stem 
  of 
  a 
  dead 
  hazel-bush, 
  was 
  decorated 
  with 
  

   grey 
  lichen, 
  resembling 
  the 
  lichen-covered 
  branches. 
  On 
  May 
  

   26th 
  we 
  saw 
  a 
  Tree-Creeper 
  at 
  Llys 
  Dulas, 
  and 
  another 
  in 
  the 
  

   Lligwy 
  Woods 
  on 
  June 
  6th. 
  Though, 
  naturally, 
  rare 
  in 
  the 
  

   north, 
  it 
  is 
  somewhat 
  remarkable 
  that 
  this 
  bird, 
  so 
  abundant 
  on 
  

   the 
  Straits, 
  should 
  be 
  scarce 
  in 
  the 
  plantations 
  in 
  the 
  country 
  

   round 
  Redwharf 
  Bay. 
  

  

  The 
  Pied 
  Wagtail, 
  though 
  nowhere 
  plentiful, 
  is 
  generally 
  

   distributed 
  ; 
  we 
  did 
  not 
  find 
  the 
  Grey 
  Wagtail 
  anywhere 
  in 
  the 
  

   north. 
  The 
  Cefni 
  at 
  Llangefni, 
  running 
  through 
  a 
  wooded 
  

   valley 
  — 
  almost 
  a 
  gorge 
  — 
  and 
  falling 
  over 
  rocks 
  like 
  a 
  mountain 
  

   torrent, 
  appears 
  suitable 
  for 
  the 
  species, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  for 
  the 
  

   Dipper, 
  a 
  bird 
  we 
  failed 
  to 
  find. 
  Absent 
  from 
  the 
  treeless 
  

   north, 
  the 
  Tree 
  Pipit 
  is 
  rare 
  even 
  in 
  the 
  east 
  ; 
  we 
  heard 
  two 
  

   singing 
  at 
  Plas 
  Bodafon, 
  and 
  on 
  May 
  26th 
  another 
  at 
  Llys 
  

   Dulas, 
  which 
  is 
  practically 
  the 
  northern 
  limit 
  of 
  its 
  range 
  in 
  

   Anglesea. 
  Lligwy 
  Woods, 
  the 
  Cefni 
  Valley 
  near 
  Llangefni, 
  and 
  

   Plas 
  Gwynn, 
  Pentraeth, 
  were 
  the 
  only 
  other 
  places 
  where 
  we 
  

   heard 
  the 
  bird. 
  

  

  The 
  Greenfinch 
  is 
  everywhere 
  common, 
  and 
  the 
  Chaffinch
