HISTORY OF 
us is not so rare as may be supposed, but has been frequently 
overlooked, on account of its near resemblance to the common 
species. 
It would be useless, after having given the differences between 
the two species, to give any detailed description of the Fire- 
crested Wren ; as there is not, that we are aware, any species 
with which it can be confounded. Its habits, according to 
Temminck, are similar to those of the Gold-crested Wren.
