THE SPOTTED FLYCATCHER. 



{Muscicapa grisola.) 

 HE family of Flycatchers is a very large 



one, having representatives in all parts of 

 the globe; but in the British Islands two species 

 only can with propriety be included in the list 

 of annual summer migrants. It is true that at 

 least one other species has been met with in this 

 country, to which allusion will be made pre- 

 sently ; but it cannot be regarded in any other 

 light than that of a rare and accidental visitant.
