osier-beds of France and Holland with its melodious voice. 
Family CALAMODYTIDE. 
Ornithologists will, I um sure, agree with me in considering that 
the Sedge-birds constitute a very distinct family. The numerous 
species, which have been divided into many genera, are very 
generally distributed over the older-known portion of the earth’s 
surface. They are semiaquatic in their habits; the greater number 
frequent both large and small beds of sedges and other herbage 
growing in the vicinity of water, and feed upon insects. They are 
well represented in the British Islands, over which the species 
are generally distributed. In the present work these birds have 
been classed under the generic titles of Acrocephalus, Calamoherpe, 
Calamodyta, Lusciniopsis, and Locustella, 
Genus AcRocEPHALUS:. 
The members of this genus. are the largest birds of the family ; 
and one or other of them form part of the ayifauna of Kurope, Asia, 
Africa, and Australia,
