Ruby-crowned Wren. 
All that is known respecting the occurrence of this species in our 
islands is comprised in the following note from Mr. R. Gray’s ‘ Birds 
of Western Scotland ”— 
“Tn the summer of 1852, Dr. Dewar, of Glasgow, shot a specimen 
of this North-American species in Kenmore Wood, on the banks of 
Loch Lomond. The bird was exhibited at a Meeting of the Natural- 
History Society of Glasgow on the 27th of April, 1858, and identi- 
fied by me. Dr. Dewar stated that he had found it in company with 
a large flock of Goldcrests, and that he had shot a dozen birds al- 
together before he recognized the differences which this one presented. 
Dr. Bree, in his work on the birds of Europe, states that the Rev. 
H. B. Tristram has a Ruby-crowned Kinglet in his possession, which 
was given him in the flesh, and which was killed by a Durham pit- 
man, in 1852, in Brancepeth woods; from this it would seem that a 
second example has occurred in this country. 
Genus Rrevunus. 
The Golden-crested Wrens or Kinglets are a charming group of 
small birds inhabiting the northern regions of the Old and New 
Worlds. In their actions and in their mode of nidification they re- 
mind us of the Paride, or Tits ; but no one has yet, I believe, removed 
them from among the true Sylvian birds, nor shall I do so in the 
present work. Knglandis tenanted by two species, which, with one 
or two others, are all that are known in the Old World; in the 
new portion of the globe there may be as many more. In disposition 
they are as tame as they are sprightly and-pleasing in their actions. 
They suspend a neat hammock-shaped nest beneath the branches 
of fir or other trees. Their eggs are numerous; and the progeny soon 
eequire the plumage of the adult,
