﻿WARBLER. 507 



This minute bird is found throughout Europe. In England, 

 it defies our fevered winters. In the colder regions is lefs 

 common. To the north it is found both in Sweden and Riiffia -, 

 our laft circumnavigators met with it alfo at Aoonalajhka. The 

 farther! fouth, Aleppo* in Afia. 



Its fong is much efteemed, being, though fhort, a pleafing 

 warble, and is much louder than could be expected from the fize 

 of the bird ; it continues throughout the year. I have feen 

 this little bird fing unconcerned even during the fall of fnow; 

 it will alfo very late in the evening, though not after dark, 

 like the Nightingale. Generally carries the tail erect.

 fjPHIS feems to be of the fame fize with the common, but Description. 



the tail is a trifle longer : the colours feem more diftinct 

 than in our bird, and the under parts paler ; it wants alfo the 

 ftreak over the eye. This I collect from infpection of the 

 Planches enluminees, for I have not feen the bird. 



Found in the neighbourhood of the river Plate in South Place,, 



America.
