ACREDULA CAUDATA {Linn.). 



Parus caudatus, Linn. S. N. i. p. 342 (1766) ; Naum. iv.

Acredula caudata, Dresser, iii. p. 67. 



Mesange a longue queue, French ; Schwanz-Meise, Ger- 

 man. 



Very common throughout the British Islands, except 

 in the extreme north. The form with the dark head- 

 streak is the most common in our country, and has been 

 treated as a distinct species by several ornithologists, 

 under the name of Acredula rosea. 



The White-headed is the prevailing form in Northern 

 and Central Europe.
