These migratory birds inhabit the Old World; frequenting woods, coppices, close thickets, and hedges, at P art ^ g g f 
seasons, and from their shyness and caution remaining closely concealed among the foliage. Their food 
insects and their larvae, as well as small soft berries and fruits. At the commencement^ summer the of 
song of the nightingale may be heard in all its richness and beauty, especially about midnight ; but towards the ^ 0 £ 
summer the song is changed to a single, low, croaking note. The nest is formed upon the ground, and is comp° s 
withered leaves, lined with fine dry grass. The female deposits four to six eggs.

Lusciola of Count Keyseriing and Dr. Blasius are coequal.
