Chough, Hooded Crow and Rook, Fregilus graculus, Corvus 

 comix and Corvus frugilegus. — From Caldy Mr. Ebben reports, 

 ** The Chough breeds upon the island, and never goes away." 

 We do not hear of it from any other station. The Hooded Crow 

 is only once distinguished, but may perhaps be referred to under 

 the general style of " Crow," the Rook being sometimes 

 distinguished by that of '' Black Crow." At S. Stack, Oct. 22nd, 

 11.30 a.m., fresh E. breeze, clear, a flock passing to N.W. Of 

 the Rook or, indeed, of Crowds generally, the first appearance 

 noted is Sept. 9th, when "Black Crows" were seen at Caldy, 

 9 a.m., a strong breeze E. by S., misty. At N. Stack, Sept. 12th, 

 6 p.m., three Black Crows flying N.E., before a mod. S.W. 

 breeze; 19th, 5.20 p.m., four passed S.E., a fresh N.W. breeze; 

 24th, 9 a.m., ninety were seen flying E., before a strong W. 

 breeze. From this station we have no fui'ther record till Dec.
