   tained 
  here, 
  but 
  principally 
  during 
  the

  the 
  usual 
  period 
  of 
  its 
  migration

  The 
  

   last 
  recorded 
  specimen 
  was

  Mr. 
  Romeril 
  informs 
  me 
  that 
  these 
  birds 
  occur 
  but 
  rarely 
  

   in 
  Jersey, 
  he 
  having 
  only 
  seen 
  a 
  few 
  at 
  long 
  intervals 
  during 
  

   many 
  years 
  of 
  observation.

  — 
  Mr. 
  Romeril 
  informs 
  

   me 
  that 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  more 
  plentiful 
  than 
  the 
  foregoing 
  during 
  

   the 
  winter 
  months.

  Wren 
  (Troglodytes 
  parvvlus). 
  — 
  Fairly 
  common. 
  While 
  on 
  

   my 
  way 
  to 
  the 
  Fort 
  on 
  the 
  morning 
  of 
  Oct. 
  26th, 
  1903, 
  1 
  observed 
  

   large 
  numbers 
  of 
  Wrens 
  in 
  the 
  hedges 
  around 
  South 
  Hill. 
  I 
  

   counted 
  no 
  fewer 
  than 
  eleven 
  birds 
  on 
  one 
  isolated 
  bush, 
  while 
  

   considerable 
  numbers 
  were 
  twittering 
  and 
  fluttering 
  about 
  the 
  

   bottom 
  of 
  the 
  hedges 
  in 
  a 
  most 
  excited 
  manner. 
  I 
  have 
  never 
  

   at 
  any 
  time 
  seen 
  so 
  many 
  Wrens 
  together, 
  and 
  can 
  only 
  account 
  

   for 
  their 
  appearance 
  at 
  that 
  time 
  as 
  due 
  to 
  passing 
  migration. 
  

   On 
  the 
  following 
  day 
  they 
  had 
  all 
  disappeared.

  Wagtail
