This is a £ first cousin, once removed/ of the Starling, 
with whom accordingly it keeps up, as will be seen, the 
intercommunication of relationship, but its position in the 
society of birds is somewhat anomalous. 
In Europe, it occurs occasionally in Russia, Siberia, Dal¬ 
matia, Lapland, Sweden, and Suabia, and regularly visits 
Spain, Italy, Hungary, and the south of France. It is a 
native of Asia, and in India seems to be very abundant in 
the Dukkun, forty or fifty being sometimes killed at a shot 
out of the vast flocks which almost darken the air. In Africa 
it is also met with, in Egypt. 
In Yorkshire, two were shot near Bawtry; one at Skiningrove 
near Whitby; one at Thorne, out of a flock of three or four; 
one at Ripley; one at Farnley Hall, near Otley; one near 
Beverley; one at North Burton; one at Boynton Hall, near 
Bridlington, in 1829; and one in Cootham Marsh, near 
Redcar, on the 28th. of August, 1851. 
The following have also been obtained at various times:— 
One at Norwood, Surrey, near London; and one at Ivor 
Court, Buckinghamshire. In Caermarthenshire, one was shot 
while eating cherries in a nursery garden at Swansea, in 
July, 1836. In Cambridgeshire, one at Haydon House, near 
Royston. In Suffolk, one at Woodbridge, in July, 1832, one
