1 There is strange confusion in the entries respecting the willow wrens in the Calendar pub- 

 lished from Mr. White's papers after his death. Three sorts were known to him, as he distinctly 

 says in a former passage : the Syh-ia Troc/tilus, or yellow wren; the Syfc. tykicola, or wood wren; 

 and the Sylv. loytuue, or chifichaff : but there are five entries of such wrens in the Calendar. By 

 reference to what he has said in other places, it should seem that the chiffchaff appears the first. 

 Therefore, in the entry, March 19th, we must read, instead ol Small uncreated willow wren, Chiftcbaff, 

 Sylv. loqtuu. In a subsequent page, Mr. White states this bird to be the chitfchaff, and to be usually 

 heard about the 20lh of March W. H.
