fied. Perhaps some other readers of 'The Zoologist' will send additions to the list.
Song-Thrush (Turdus musicus).—Resident and fairly plentiful, but decreasing gradually.
Blackbird (T. merula).—Resident, but somewhat less plentiful than the last.
Robin (Erithacus rubecula).—Resident and common.
Hedge-Sparrow (Accentor modularis).—A few pairs still resident.
Willow-Warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus).—Very regular visitor on migration, and may be heard daily at the end of April.
Great Tit (Parus major).—Several pairs still resident, but decreasing.
Blue Tit (P. cæruleus).—Resident, and the most abundant of the Paridæ.
Coal-Tit (P. ater).—Now only a visitor, I think.
Marsh-Tit (P. palustris).—A rare visitor. One specimen used to haunt the flower-walk in November, 1898, but, from its plumage, seemed fresh from the country.
Wren (Troglodytes parvulus).—Not uncommon; resident.
Starling (Sturnus vulgaris).—Abundant and resident. Nests in the hollow trees and buildings round the gardens.
Jackdaw (Corvus monecula).—A few pairs frequent the gardens, and nest in the old trees near the Broad Walk.
Carrion-Crow (C. corone).—A pair (and sometimes two pairs, I think) nest regularly near Speke's obelisk. In the winter I have seen parties of four or five in the morning before the gardens are disturbed.
Rook (C. frugilegus).—Only a visitor since 1893, when for the last time twelve nests were occupied at the north end of the Broad Walk. A few Rooks visit the gardens daily, and on Feb. 2nd, 1898, a pair began a nest in an elm on Palace Green, but soon gave up the work.
Spotted Flycatcher (Muscicapa grisola).—Still a regular summer visitor, and very interesting as the only summer migrant which still remains to nest. For the last two years a pair (and, I fear, the last) have had a nest somewhere near the Albert Memorial and Rotten Row.
Swallow (Hirundo rustica).—A regular and very common visitor on migration.
Martin (H. urbica).—A much less common visitor on migration.
Sand Martin (Cotile riparia).—Rare; but, I think, comes regularly every spring.
House-Sparrow (Passer domesticus).—Very abundant, and probably increasing. In these mild winters I have seen London Sparrows busy nesting on Jan. 25th. Partial albinos seem increasing in numbers.
Chaffinch (Fringilla cœlebs).—Not long ago was resident, but now, I think, only an occasional visitor.
