his more recent ‘ Hand-list’ he makes the latter the type of Musei- 
capa, and places the former under Sundeyall’s subgenus Hedymela. 
Genus MuscicaPa.

Prep FrycatcHer. 
A well-known migrant to Britain, chiefly frequenting the northern 
portion of England, where it breeds. It is rarely met with in 
Scotland, and never in Ireland. For an interesting note by Mr. 
Stevenson on a singular immigration of this species on the Suffolk 
coast in September 1869, see the ‘ Zoologist ’ for that year, p. 1492.

This species, which has once been killed in England, is a native of 
Eastern Europe.

Arrives late in the spring, spreads over the British Islands, and 
after breeding returns to whence it came, the northern part of Africa. 
Genus EryrHrosTEeRNA. 
The members of this genus, which are but few in number, frequent 
Eastern Europe, India, and China. They are extremely delicate in 
structure ; and it is marvellous how so frail a bird as the #. parva 
could have crossed the Channel, and thus laid claim to a place in the 
avifauna of Great Britain.

ReED-BREASTED FLYCATCHER. 
For the particulars respecting the capture of three examples of this 
bird, I refer my readers to my account of the species opposite the 
Plate; but I may here mention that all were taken in Cornwall, 
and that they can only be regarded as accidental visitors. 
69. VIREOSYLVIA OLIVACEA. 
Red-eyed Flycatcher. 
In Mr. Harting’s ‘Handbook of British Birds’ it is stated that 
two examples of this purely American species were taken by a bird- 
catcher at Chellaston, near Derby, in May 1859, the particulars of 
which will be found in Sir Oswald Mosley’s ‘ Natural History of 
Tutbury,’ page 385.
