few forests of Scotland, but common in pine-woods 
on the Continent ; the Western Long-tailed Titmouse 
{Acredula caudata rosea), and the Bearded Tit (Panurus 
hiarmicus), now very rare in England. Close allies of

Pipits, and Thrushes. Of these the following are of 
regular occurrence in Great Britain: — 
The Whitethroat {Sylvia sylvia or cinerea). Lesser 
Whitethroat (/S', curruca). Blackcap {8. atricapilla), 
Garden-Warbler {S. hortensis), Dartford Warbler 
(/S. undated). Common Hedge-Sparrow {Accentor nodu-

Reed-Warbler {A. arundinaceus or turdoides). Sedge-
