530 DARTFORD WARBLER. Class II. 



Mr. Montagu conjectures that this species 

 is confined to the eastern part of the kingdom, 

 to Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and part of So- 

 mersetshire, and that it is not found in Devon- 

 shire or Cornwall. Its bill is shorter than 

 that of the common white-throat, the legs are 

 darker, the whole under parts qf the plumage 

 much whiter, and the whole upper parts do 

 not possess the least appearance of rufous 

 brown. Ed.]
