Pied Fit/catcher. — I have no doubt the Pied Flycatcher ar- 

 rived this year (1828) much sooner than is stated above; but 

 the situation it resorts to being at some distance, I had not an 

 opportunity of visiting the locality before the 27th of April, on 

 which day I saw several pairs. I am fully aware that this species 

 is considered by many British naturalists to be indigenous to 

 this country, and consequently ought not to be considered as 

 a bird of passage. Amongst others, Montague is of this opi- 

 nion, and has wi'itten at some length on the subject in the 

 Supplement to his Ornithological Dictionary. On the other 

 hand, Mr, Selby in his Illustrations of British Ornithology, 

 considers it to be only an occasional visitant. From what has 

 lately passed under my own observation, I am at present in- 

 clined to think that it is a I'egular summer visitant in this 

 iieiThbourhood. In the summer of 1827 I had one and this 

 year I have had several nests of this bird under my inspection, 

 and hope to be able at no distant period to offer some further 

 remarks upon the subject, which certainly requires investigation.
