Several examples of this warbler have lately been pro- 

 cured in this country. The first specimens were obtained in 

 the fens of Cambridgeshire, in the spring of 1840, by Mr. J, 

 Baker, and by him presented to the British Museum ; of 

 these birds a notice was published by Mr. George R. Gray, 

 in the sixth volume of the Annals of Natural History, page 

 155. Since that time Mr. Joseph Clarke, of SafFrOn Walden, 

 has also obtained a pair of these birds, which are deposited in 

 the museum at Saffron Walden, and were obligingly devoted 

 for a time to my use.
