npH I S fpecies, I have reafon to think, is not feen in thtjouth of 

 England in the fummer feafon ; nor have I been able to af- 

 certain its breeding-place nearer than Cumberland, which Dr. H^- 

 Jham aflfures me it does every year, making its lirft appearance 

 there about Jpril. He has never met with the neft, but has (hot 

 the young ones in June more than once, and thinks that it departs 

 fouthward in October, about the time it appears with us in 

 Kent; for I do not recolleft ever feeing it before the 8th or 

 9th of that month. — Mr, Jack/on informs me, that it breeds in 

 Ireland.
