overlooked, but I believe them to be very plentiful wherever there 
are plantations of spruce firs, to which trees they seem extremely 
partial, hanging their nests to the under-surface of the lower 
branches. Though apparently of so delicate a nature, they remain 
with us all the winter, and appear to suffer less from severe cold 
than even many of our hard-billed species. It is not at all impro- . 
bable that at this season they may derive their chief support from 
the smaller tribes of Tipulide, many of which are to be found 
on wing and in a state of activity at all times of the year, and 
even occasionally when the ground is covered with snow.

Common Wren.—Like the Robin, this bird sings throughout 
the year, but its note in the winter months is very weak compared 
to what it is in the spring.

Wueat-Ear.—I have occasionally observed these birds on the 
Devil’s Ditch and the open parts about Newmarket heath, but from 
their not being in any great plenty, I am unable to say at what 
period of the year they first visit those districts, or when they with- 
draw. They breed on the first-mentioned place, depositing their 
nest in an old rabbit-burrow, or some other hole under ground. 
S. rubetra, Temm. Man. d’Ornith. p. 244. 
Wuin-cuat.—Like the preceding a bird of passage, appearing in 
the middle of April, and departing in the autumn.

Stonr-cHAT.—This is plentiful, and resides with us all the year 
on fens and other open grounds.
