YELLOW WREN. 
Yellow Titmouse of Catesby : lie says, that 
they breed in Carolina, and disappear at the 
approach of winter. I have a coloured figure" 
of it, from Holland or Germany, which is_ 
called *' Wistilng." I have also received, I 
think, the same bird, from Bengal in the fJast 
indies. So that this species seems to me, to be 
spread* over most parts of the known world; 
and is, perhaps, in all those parts, a bii'd of 
passage. I believe it to be, the Oenanthe 
l^'usco Lutea Minor, of Sloane: see his His- 
tory of Jamaica, and Ray's Synopsis. As 
Mr. Willughby has given it no English name^ 
1 have chosen to call it tiie YeliowWren: 
contrary to Catesby, who ranges it with Tit- 
mice ; though, I think, improperly, it's bill be- 
ing long and slender, whereas it is shorter and 
less acute in Titmice." 
This Yellow Wren appears to be the Mota- 
cilla-Trochilus, of Linnaeus; the Motacilla. 
Hispanica, of Hasselquist; the Asilus, of 
Gesner, Brisson, Ray, and Willughby; the 
Sylvia-Trochilus, of Latham ; the Pouillot, 
or Chantre, of Buffon; and, perhaps, the 
Green W ren, of Albin.
