As this species is asserted to be an inhabitant of the pine- Locality. 
forests of Scotland, particularly of that of Glenmore (from 
whence Dr LatHam mentions having received a specimen), 
I have given a figure of the male bird (from which the fe- 
male only differs in having less black upon the throat) in one 
of the supplementary plates. 
My own endeavours to discover it in its native haunts have 
been ineffectual, but I readily allow that, in such an extent 
of gloomy forest, 11 might have escaped my research, and may 
be very properly entitled to its place in our Fauna. It is 
said to be of very retired habits, and rarely to associate with 
any of its congeners; which may account for my never ha- 
ving met with it in the company of the cole titmouse, a spe- 
cies (as I have before observed) abounding in all the pine- 
districts of Scotland.—According to Trmmincx, it builds in Nest, &c. 
the holes of trees or rocks, and sometimes in the deserted 
nests of crows or squirrels. It lays from eight to ten eggs, 
white, with purplish-red spots, principally disposed around
