In this family, the Ardea cinerea only is common and resi- 
dent; Botaurus stellaris is, in consequence of the improve- 
ment of the bogs, becoming gradually scarcer, and, as a resi- 
dent species, is confined to few localities. Bot. minutus, Nyct. 
europeus, Plat. Leucorodia, Ibis Falcinellus, are rare visit- 
ants. Ardea purpurea and A. Garzetia have each been once 
obtained ; of the latter species, one or two other examples in 
addition to that alluded to*, are said to have occurred on the 
southern coast. 
The six British species of the Ardeide which are desiderata 
in Ireland, are, with the exception of Ciconia alba, very rare 
visitants ; three of them, indeed, are with certainty placed in 
the catalogue from their occurrence each in a single instance.
