12. S. sibilatrix (Wood Wren). 
13. S. Trochilus (Yellow Wren, Oven Bird). 
14. 5. Regulus (Golden-crested Wren). 
The nest of this bird is generally built underneath the branch 
of a tree, and in form similar to that of a Chaffinch. But we 
have also seen it pendulous, with an aperture on one side ; so 
that Montagu was wrong in contradicting what other authors 
have said on this subject. There are few birds which do not 
occasionally vary from the general form in building their nests. 
There is one peculiarity in the nest of the Golden-crested Wren : 
the inside of it is not made smooth, like those of the generality 
of birds, but loose feathers hang into the middle of the nest, so 
that neither the eggs, nor the young, when small, can be seen. 
The design of this structure seems to be, to preserve the warmth 
of its diminutive contents. 
15. S.T, roglodytes (Common Wren; J enny Wren, Kitty, Titty, 
and Bobby Wren). 
Genus XIV. SAXICOLA. 
1. S. Œnanthe (Wheatear). 
The Wheatear breeds in the rabbit-burrows which abound in 
the sand-hills on the coast of Norfolk. In Suffolk it frequents 
gravel and sand-pits, heaths, and uncultivated places : it is also 
found on similar spots in the first-mentioned county.
