tinental authors; and before quitting this little group, I 

 may here mention that the Hon. and llev. W. Herbert, 

 in his notes to a recently published edition of Whitens 

 Natural History of Selborne, has mentioned two other 

 warblers; but as I have never yet been so fortunate as 

 to obtain a specimen of either of them, I only here refer 

 to that gentleman's account. I venture respectfully to 

 request to be allowed an opportunity of examining any 

 British Warbler which may be considered to differ from 

 those figured and described in this History of British 

 Birds. 



The vignette below represents the nest of the Dartford 

 Warbler, the bird next to be described.
