. The birds of Britain : their distribution and habits . tly distinguished from its congenersby the broad black stripe down the yellowish underparts, though its black head and white cheeks are mostconspicuous. In different forms it breeds south of theArctic circle to the Mediterranean Islands, north-westAfrica, Palestine, Persia, Burma, China, and Japan, while the British form has recently been separated fromthe others. It makes a nest of moss, surmounted bya felted mass of wool, fur and hair, in a hole in a treeor waU, when it does not choose a pump, a woodenletter-box, or other extraordinary situation. Its notesare comparatively harsh, and a rasping cry of tworepeated notes which it often utters is commonlymistaken for that of the Chiffchaff; it also imitates thevoices of other birds.

The call-note of the Coal Tit is sharpand loud, so that it cannot easily be mistaken for thoseof its congeners; the nest resembles that of the GreatTit, but is usually placed in a hole in a wall or stumpor in the ground, less commonly in a bank-side or thethatch of a shed.
