nest. It lives on the insects that kdge on the 
leaves, and in the buds, of trees.'* 
This is the whole of BufFon's history and 
description; most of which is evidently bor- 
rowed from Edwards. 
His remark on the usual curvature of the 
Creeper's bill merits notice: though it seems 
by no means certain that, if this bird be not a 
Creeper, it is positively a,FIg-Eater; and there 
appears, to us^ a strong incongruit]^, in calling 
it the Pine Fig-Eatei-.l 
Pennant, and Latham, partaking of our dif- 
ficulty, but bolder, from their superior sys- 
tematic skill, have ventured to call this bird the 
Pine Warbler. To this we should have no 
great ' objection, did we perceive an ahsolute 
necessity for rejecting the original name; but 
we might, perhaps, at least equally incline to 
call it a Fly "Catcher.
