It is recorded by Professor Newton, in the fourth edition of Yarrell's ' British Birds, ' as having been known to nest in seventeen English counties ; but in most parts of the country it is regarded as a winter migrant, though to this there are many exceptions, e. G. One to our knowledge in which large numbers of Crossbills appeared in the month of June in the neighbourhood of Holsworthy in North Devon. This species is essentially a denizen of the fir-woods, the seeds of the various conifers fo...rming its principal and favourite food. The Cross- bill breeds frequently and regularly in many parts of Scotland, and, according to various observers, usually commences its nesting-operations early in March, for the most part selecting the horizontal bough of a fir ; but on this subject we can only speak on the authority of others, and therefore abstain from any details except to mention that a nest taken in Scotland, and sent to me with four eggs some years ago, is built of twigs of Scotch fir and lined with coarse grass and a very little wool.
