PENDULINE TIT. 21 



russet; the oclireous colour of the back is less deep than 

 121 the adult; the under parts of the body are of a light 

 red. 



My figure of this bird and its egg are from specimens 

 kindly sent me by the Rev. H. Tristram. The nest is 

 after Gould. 



It has also been figured by Buffon, pi. enl. 618, fig. 

 3, and 708, the young before the first moult under the 

 name of Mesange de Languedoc ; P. Roux, Ornith. Prov., 

 pi. 124, fig. 1, adult male; fig. 2, head of young; Bou- 

 teil, Ornith. du Dauph., pi. 31, fig. 6; Gould, B. of E., 

 pi. 159; Naumann, Vogel. Deutsch, vol. 4, pi. 97, male, 

 female, young, and nest; Temminck, Atlas; Vieillot, 

 Faun. Franc, pi. 50, fig. 2 and 3; Albin, vol. 3, pi. 57; 

 Bechstein, Naturg. Dent., vol. 3, pi. 38, fig. 2; Meyer, 

 Vog. Deut., part 10.

 of Europe. It has however been omitted by Schlegel 

 and Bonaparte from the European list, and is admitted 

 with doubt by Degland. Mr. Gould now thinks that 

 it ought to be erased, in which opinion he is joined 

 by all the best modern ornithologists. 



Parus horealis, Selys; Pcecilia borealis, Bonaparte. — 

 Mr. Newton's valuable remarks about this species in the 

 notice of the Siberian Tit, in the last number, arc I think 

 sufficiently strong to warrant my excluding it from the 

 European list as a distinct species. It is so closely
