350 THE NESTS AND EGGS OF 



^RUBY-CROWNED WREN. 



REGULUS CALENDULA, LimiCBllS. 



One British record. A species subject to some 

 migratory movement. The date of capture (summer) is 

 a point against the individual occurring in a wild state ; 

 but on the other hand the species has been known to 

 stray to Greenland, which fact is certainly in favour of an 

 individual prolonging its abnormal flight to our shores. 

 The fact that it remained unidentified for six years — it 

 is a very strongly marked species — also tells adversely 

 against its bona-fides. Habitat : North America. 



* AMERICAN ROBIN. 



TURDUS MIGRATORIUS, LtmtcEUS. 



Apparently two British records. A migratory species, 

 and probably the examples obtained were on abnormal 

 flight, seeing that the bird has also been captured on 

 Heligoland, in a very exhausted condition. Unfortunately 

 it is a species often kept in confinement. These stray 

 individuals may have reached us via Asia. Habitat: 

 North America up to the Arctic regions. 



WHITE-COLLARED FLYCATCHER. 



MUSCICAPA coLLARis, Bechsteiiu 



Apparently one British record. The late Mr. 

 Gould included this species as British, but on insufficient 

 evidence. Habitat : Southern Europe.
