with us ; as also throughout the Scandinavian peninsula 

 generally. Migrates. 



The White-Throat (Grd Sang are, or Grey Warbler, 

 Sw. ; S. cinerea, Lath.) was also rather common about 

 Ronnum, as well as elsewhere in the peninsula; but its 

 limits to the northward do not seem very well ascertained. 

 Migrates. 



The Lesser White-Throat (Art- Sang are, Sw., that is, 

 Pea- Warbler, so called from its greatly frequenting pea-fields ; 

 S. Curruca, Lath.) was likewise common with us ; as it also 

 is in Sweden and Norway generally. The singular song of

 having been seen in my vicinity. Migrates. 



The Willow- Wren (Lof-Sdngare, or Leaf- Warbler, Sw. ; 

 S. Trochilus, Lath.) was common with us ; as also where- 

 ever trees and bushes are to be found throughout Scandinavia. 

 M. Malrn found it in abundance in northern Lapland, on 

 the very borders of the Icy Sea. Migrates. 



The Gul-brostad Sang are, or Yellow-breasted Warbler 

 (S. Hippolais, Lath., fide Nilss.), was rather scarce with 

 us ; as indeed would seem to be the case generally in Scan- 

 dinavia. Its limits to the northward appear not to be 

 accurately known. It has been met with, however, as high
