WARBLER. 15 



It seems to inhabit most parts of the Continent of Europe, at 

 least as far as Sweden ; is a summer inhabitant of Gibraltar, and 

 extends to the Morocco shore, but is not a plentiful species, nor is 

 it for certain known where it passes the winter. This bird, we are 

 informed, is found at Madeira, and known there by the name of 

 Tinta Neera.
