WARBLERS 363 



Two taken by a bird-catcher, Chellaston, near Derby, May 

 1859 : Sir Oswald Mosley, " Nat. Hist. Tiitbury," 1863, 

 p. 385. pi. 6; ZooL, 1864, p. 8965. The male was 

 preserved for the collection of Mr. Edwin Brown, of 

 Burton-on-Trent. 



Dr. C. R. Biee has some remarks on this capture 

 in Field, May 14, 1870. From Sir Oswald Mosley's 

 figure of the bird, he identifies it as the West Indian 

 form of olivaceus, i.e. Vireo altiloquus (Gray). 



Neither of these is at all likely to be found in 

 England, except as escaped cage-birds.
