GOLDCREST 23 
Scotland, while its occurrence in the Outer Hebrides,’ 
Orkney, and Shetland is doubtful. Two specimens only 
have been obtained in Ireland. It occurs very casually in 
Galloway ; in Cumberland and Lancashire it breeds locally. | 
SYLVIA HORTENSIS, Bechstein. GARDEN 
WARBLER. 
The Manx status of this bird is very uncertain. In his 
earlier list (1880) Mr. Kermode notes it as ‘Summer 
Migrant,’ but in that of 1901 he altogether omits it. 
In May 1900 Mr. Graves identified a specimen among 
the bushes in the ‘Glen’ on the Calf of Man, where we 
noted a number of other summer migrants. 
The Garden Warbler is distributed, not abundantly, over 
north-western England. Mr. Aplin ‘saw none’ in Lleyn, 
and it is scarce in Anglesea, where the Blackcap is not 
uncommon (Oldham). It occurs in Galloway in very vary- 
ing numbers in different years (Service), and in Ireland 
breeds locally here and there, for instance, in Co. Down. 
It hardly reaches the outlying Scottish isles. 
REGULUS CRISTATUS, Koch. GOLDCREST. 
Manx, Ushag fuygh or Ushag y fuygh=bird of the 
wood or timber. 
This is, in winter at least, a very abundant species, found 
wherever there are trees. While other birds haunt the edges 
of the leafless larch plantations, the little parties of Gold- 
1 One example has, however, been obtained there since writing as above.
