2o8 British Birds, with their Nests and Eggs. 



largely of chopped raw meat, German paste, etc. I have not the least doubt that 

 any of the advertised egg-foods, mixed with bread-crumbs and moistened, would 

 be infinitely more wholesome as a staple : to this I would add for the present 

 species, cockroaches, mealworms, spiders, centipedes, and caterpillars, as well as 

 small snails. Although most birds do not care for woodlice, it is not improbable 

 that the Rock- Pipit would eat them. 



Being considerably larger than the Meadow-, or Tree-Pipits, it would be 

 necessary to use judgment as to the associates of this species : moreover, as the 

 gentle looking Pipits are even more pugnacious than Wagtails, it would be very 

 unwise to place two males together in the same aviary. Even one male should 

 be watched at first, for individuals of the family Motacillida sometimes make things 

 lively for an aviary full of birds twice their own size, and infinitely more powerful 

 than themselves.

The Siberian Ground-Thrush, p. 28. 



Dr. H. O. Forbes says that he on several occasions, during the terrible frost 

 of 1894-5, saw two of these birds in his garden at Li^'erpool, feeding in company 

 with Starlings, Sparrows, Thrushes, and Blackbirds : he was quite close, and able 

 to identify them with certainty ; he even made an unsuccessful attempt to catch 

 them. 



The Icterine AVarbler, p. 107. 



Three examples have now been killed in Norfolk, the last at Cley so recently 

 as the 7th September, 1896. Mr. Frohawk received an ^^^ believed to be referable 

 to this species in a miscellaneous collection made in Norfolk, but the fact of 

 its ever having nested in Great Britain cannot be accepted on such unsatis- 

 factory evidence.
