CREEPER. 



with the common Creeper; but frequents ruined edifices, old' 

 walls, and the like, feeding on infects, but particularly fpiders. 

 Scopoli fays, that it migrates fingly towards the end of autumn. 

 Its flight is vague and uncertain ; and it climbs by leaps. It is pro- 

 bably not found in Sweden nor Germany, as neither Klein nor Frifch 

 have mentioned it; nor has Linnaus ranked it with the birds of 

 his country. Kramer fays, that it is known to build in human 

 JJculls, in church yards ; but furely this happened rather by acci- 

 dent than choice. 



I have only feen one fpecimen of this bird, which is in the col- 

 lection of M. Tunjlal, Efq; and feemed to be larger than a 

 Sparrow.
