Abstract
AN account of the differences in timing of the reproductive cycles of the British and Continental races of the European starling has been given by Bullough1, and the consequent differences in external morphology and in behaviour have been emphasized. It was suggested that these differences, particularly in behaviour, may prevent cross-breeding, and that in any event the two races must be considered as subspecifically distinct.
