Nightingale.

GARDEN- WARBLER. 
An unobtrusive and plainly coloured bird; has a loud garrulous 
song; arrives in April, when the nettles and other herbage are sufli- 
ciently dense and the leaves of the trees sufficiently forward to screen 
it from sight. Common in England and the south of Scotland, but 
seems to be more rare in the north of that country ; and in Ireland, 
according to Thompson, it is extremely so. 
Genus TRoGLODYTES. 
Tn the Old World the northern regions are those that are princi- 
pally inhabited by the members of this genus ; in the New they range 
from the northern to nearly the southern extremity of the great 
continent of America. They are pert, lively little birds, which differ 
from the true Sylviw in many particulars, rendering it very difficult 
to assign them a place affinitively in any of the proposed systems.

As implied in its specific appellation, this bird is a native of 
Europe, over which it is very generally dispersed and strictly sta- 
tionary, inasmuch as it keeps in the vicinity of its breeding-place 
from year’s end to year’s end. 
Family CERTHIIDA. 
The members of this singular bark-loving family, which are but 
few in number, frequent the temperate regions of both the Old and 
the New World. Four species inhabit the great Himalaya moun- 
tains; and of these some visit the plains of India, and extend their 
range eastward to Japan. In America there are two, which are 
found in all parts of that country from the United States to Mexico.
