* Willow Wren. — Mr. White has made strange confusion in the entries respecting the wrens 
in his calendar. Three sorts were known to him, as he distinctly says in a former passage : the 
Sylvia trocMlvs, a yellow wren ; the S/ilvia sibilatrix, or wood wren ; the Sylvia liixqiolais, or 
chiff-chaff; but he enters the separate appearance of four such wrens in the Calendar, although 
there were not four species known in tliis country, nor did he ever fancy that there were four. 
By reference to what he h;is said in other places, it should seem that the chiff-chaff appears the 
first. Therefore, in the entry, March 19th, we must read, instead of willow wren, Sylvia tro- 
cMlus, chiff-chaff, Sylvia Mppolais, In page 230, Mr. White states this bird to be the eniff-chaff. 
and to be usually heard on the 25th of March.— W. H.
