PLATE LXXIV. 
Long Tail Tit 
Is one of the fmallell of its kind, and differs much in colour from any of that clafs. They inhabit 
the fides of woods and lanes, and do not difperfe, as mofl other fmall birds do. It is a bird of no 
fong, but may be eafily diftinguifhed by its continual fqueaking. Its neft is of a moft curious ftruc- 
ture, being compofed of mofs, and fo peculiarly interwoven with the branch in which it is built, that 
it cannot be removed without taking the branch with it ; it is lined with feathers, in which are 
depofited from nine to fifteen eggs ; which are very fmall, fpotted with fmall red fpots indifcriminately 
all over. It feeds on fmall mfefts, which the hedges afford, and is inceiTantly on the move.
