The Fire-crested Regulus was first made known as 

 an inhabitant of this country by my friend the Rev. Leonard 

 Jenyns, who obtained a specimen in his own garden at SwafF- 

 ham Bulbeck, near Cambridge, in August 1832, and this, 

 being a young bird of the year, had probably been reared in 

 that neighbourhood. Since then others have been observed 

 at Brighton by Mr. J. E. Gray. In the Magazine of Zo- 

 ology and Botany, one specimen is said to have been obtained 

 near Durham, and another was caught on the rigging of a 

 ship five miles off the coast of Norfolk in the early part of 

 October 1836.
