Qen. XiOXXA, Linn. 
Xi. pltyopslttacus, Bechst., Parrot Crossbill. 
Rare. Mr. Newton, in 1838, shot nine of these birds, seeMowe's 
Perambulation of Dartmoor, p. 233. 
Zi. CUrvirostra, Linn., Crossbill. 
Occasionally found, and has been known to breed. 
Zia leucoptera^ Gmel., American White-winged Crossbill. 
The first specimen of this bird noticed in England, was found dead 
on the shore at Exmouth, September 17th, 1845, by Mr. E. B. 
Fitton ; but, more recently, one or two others have been obtained 
in other counties.

S. VUlgrariS, Linn., starling. 
In the south, formerly in the winter only, but recently many 
pairs have been known to breed. In the centre and north of the 
county they are common throughout the year. 
Gen. PASTOR, Temm. 
P. roseus, Briss., Rose-coloured Pastor. 
A specimen turns up now and then. The last was obtained a 
few years since in the neighbourhood of Kings Tamerton.

Gen. ORIOZiUS, Linn. 
O. g'albula, Linn., Golden Oriole. 
The remark on the last-mentioned species applies to the present : 
a female was obtained near Millbrook a few years ago, and I saw 
one at Leigham in 1856 or 1857.
