THE FLYCATCHERS AND THE WATER-OUZEL. 285 



Scandinavia. M. Malm met with it even as high up as near 

 the shores of the Icy Sea. Migrates. 



The Pied Flycatcher (Svart-och Hvit Fluy-Snappare, or 

 Black and White Flycatcher, Sw. ; M. atricapilla, Linn. ; 

 M. luctuosa, Temm.) was very common with us, as well 

 as throughout Sweden and Norway. Migrates. 



The White- collared Flycatcher (Hvit-halsad Plug- Snap- 

 pare, or White-necked Flycather, Sw. ; M. albicollis,Temm.), 

 though not found with us, belongs to the Scandinavian fauna ; 

 hut it is confined to the island of Gottland, where it breeds. 

 Though exceeding scarce, it is also found in Denmark. 



The M. leucomela, Lath., belongs also, Nilsson has every 

 reason to believe, on the authority of Fries and Temminck, to 

 the northern peninsula. 



The Danish fauna, according to Kjserbolling, claims another 

 species, the Liten Flue-Snapper, or Little Flycatcher (M. 

 parva, Bechst.), an individual of which was caught near 

 Copenhagen. The proper home of this bird is southern 

 Germany, in which country, however, it would seem to be 

 very scarce everywhere. 



The Water- Ouzel (Sir dm- Stare, or Stream-Starling, Sw. ; 

 Cinclus aquaticus, Bechst.) ; common with us, more espe- 

 pecially during the winter, which it passed in the unfrozen 

 rapids of the Gotha and other rivers. This bird is very 

 generally distrihuted over Scandinavia ; and though some 

 few breed in the midland provinces of Sweden, the greater 

 part retire for that purpose to the vicinity of mountain- 

 streams, in the far north. 



The Missel-Thrush (Dubbel-Trast, or Double-Thrush, Sw. ; 

 Turdus viscivorus, Linn.) was rather scarce with us ; perhaps 

 more so apparently, than in reality, owing to its great
