BESIDES the birds coming under the denominatiou of 

 game, and others of worth, such as some of the 

 water fowl and waders, there are many smaller birds 

 looked on by many as a delicacy, that collectively go 

 under the name of Krams-foglar. The meaning of this 

 term I could never exactly understand ; but as the word 

 kram implies a collection, or medley, of all sorts of things 

 — so at least it is to be inferred from the huxter, or 

 general dealer, being called a hrani-handlare — and as the 

 birds in question are commonly brought to market, 

 without distinction of species, in small knippor, or 

 bunches of half a score or more, it seems to me not 

 improbable that hence has arisen their designation. 



Under the above-named categorv are included all the 

 Thrushes; viz., the Song-Tlirush, the Missel-Thrush, the 

 Eedwing, the Ring-Ouzel, the Blackbird, the Eieldfare,
