where it alighted on the ground, and crept into a tuft of grass 

 between their feet. The terrified bird suffered itself to be 

 taken with the hand, and is now when I write, still confined in 

 a Cage ; but the Kestril did not retreat for a considerable 

 time afterward.

 Br. B., vol. 1, p. 199. Most common in Winter, and chang- 

 ing its haunts according to the Season. 



BUNTINGS. 



SNOW BUNTING. Emberiza Nivalis. Jenyns, p. 129. 

 Bewick's Br. B., vol. 1, p. 172. This Species is inserted 

 in the List of Cornish Birds, on the authority of a para- 

 graph in a newspaper, several years since. It must be of 

 rare occurrence, but has been seen also in Devonshire, by 

 Dr. E. Moore, of Plymouth. 



* BUNTING. E. Milliaria. Jenyns, p. 130. Bewick's Br. 



B., vol. 1, p. 165. Bull Lark. Common. 



* REED BUNTING. E. Schceniclus. Jenjns, p. 130. Be- 



wick's Br. B., vol. l, p. 1G8. Local. 



* YELLOW BUNTING. E. Citrinella. Jenyns, p. 131. 



Bewick's Br. B., vol. 1, p. 166. Yellow Hammer. Glad- 

 dy. Common. 



* CIRL. E. Cirlus. Jenyns, p. 131. Common. I am un- 

 able to refer to Bewick's figure, in the last Edition of his 

 "British Birds," as, probably from the manner in which his 

 Specimen was set up, it conveys no proper idea of the figure 

 of this Species. 



* WHEATEAR. Saxicola jEnanthe. Jenyns, p. 1 19. Be- 



wick's Br. B., vol. 1, p. 238. White Ear. Nacker. A 

 common Summer visitor, arriving about the middle of 

 March. They cross the Channel early in the morning, few 

 arriving after nine o'clock ; and it is not uncommon for 

 them to alight on the Fishing Boats when the weather is 

 mist}'. I have never observed that the sexes arrive sepa- 

 rately, as is commonly reported. A few have been known 

 to remain with us through the winter ; the colour being 

 then much more brown than in Summer. 



* WHIN CHAT. S. Rubetra. Jenyns, p. 120. Bewick's 



Br. 13., vol. 1, p. 240. Rare, not more than two or three 

 Specimens having been recorded as Cornish. 



* STONE CHAT. S. Rtibicula. Jenvns, p. 121. Bewick's 

 Br. B., vol. 1, p. 242. Stone Chatter. Common, and ap- 

 proaching gardens in the Winter. The nest is hidden with 

 great art. It has been known to cross the channel to us. 



TITMICE. 



* GREAT TITMOUSE. Parvs Major. Jenyns, p. 121. 

 Bewick's Br. B., vol. 1, p. 246. Common.
