pari of the outer range of the Hebrides. %&§ 
Grails ; then the Passeres, Accipitres, Coraces, Gallinae. These 
according to Blumenbaclfs arrangement. 
In the following enumeration of the Birds of Harris, the 
Linnsean names are used. The names of the birds which re- 
main always in the country are printed in common characters ; 
those which are migratory, in the Italic character. 
Instead of giving a mere list, I shall arrange the birds ac- 
cording to their usual habitations, or places of feeding, (their 
nidifi cation not being considered). 
Land and Sea obviously form the first divisions. The latter 
admits of only two subdivisions ; the open sea, and that along 
the coast. The former I divide into Fields, Hills, and Shores. 
The division Lakes and Rivers is an adjunct to the two former ; 
that of Corn-yard to the first. The department Fields includes 
the varieties of ground usually found “ within dikes,"” which may 
be divided into dry and wet. That of Hills includes all “ with- 
out dikes,” consisting of hills and valleys covered with heath, 
and divisible into dry and wet, as the former. The shores are 
rocky and sandy. 
The list is imperfect ; but, in so far as it goes, is certain. 
The Pelecanus graculus and cristatus, I deem the same bird. 
. Falco albicilla and ossifragus ; Larus marinus and fuscus ; 
Colymbus troile and minor. Tringa cinclus and alpina, and 
the Lari, are all in confusion, on account of the variety in their 
plumage, which is not permanent till the third year.
