Rerp Bunrinc.—Common in fens and low meadows, but con- 
fined to such situations. As far as I have observed, the nest is 
always placed on the ground, and never suspended between the 
stems of aquatic plants, as described by Bewick and some other 
authors, who have strangely confounded the manners of this 
bird with those of the Sedge Warbler (Sylvia Phragmitis.) This 
error has probably arisen from the circumstance of the two species 
frequenting the same haunts, and being in a general way both 
called Reed Sparrows. 
Genus XIX. PYRRHULA, Briss. 
P. vulgaris, Temm. Man. d’Ornith. p.338. 
Burrincu.—This is generally reckoned a very common bird; but 
I have rarely noticed it in the neighbourhood of Bottisham. 
Perhaps it is attached to more wooded districts. 
Genus XX. FRINGILLA, Illig. 
F. Chloris, Temm. Man. d’Ornith. p. 346. 
GREENFINCH.—Collect together in large flocks in the winter. 
F. domestica, Temm. Man. d’Ornith. p. 350. 
HousE Srparrow.—White varieties of this bird have been occa- 
sionally observed near Bottisham. 
F. montana, Temm. Man. @Ornith. p. 354. 
TrEeE Sparrow.—lI have inserted this species on the authority 
of Selby, who, in his Illustrations of British Ornithology, mentions 
having received specimens from the neighbourhood of Cambridge. 
F. celebs, Temm. Man. d@Ornith. p. 357. 
CuarrincH.—This species continues in full song from the first 
week in February to the end of June, after which time it is silent 
till September, when it reassumes its note for a few weeks if the 
weather be mild. As far as I have observed, both sexes remain 
with us all the year, and do not appear to separate at the approach 
of winter, as they are said to do in other parts of England.
