PLATE XXXVIII. FIG. III. 
The existence of the present species in this country 
was first made known by the Rev. L. Jenyns; other 
specimens have since been secured, and will most likely 
continue to be met with now that the separate identity 
of the two species has been pointed out. The Rev. E. 
H. Browne has watched this species during the summer 
near his residence at Bio Norton, in Norfolk, and has no 
doubt it breeds there. 
In its nidification and number of its eggs the Fire- 
crested Wren closely resembles the preceding species. 
Mr. Yarrell mentions that M. Vieillot found a nest of 
this bird near Rouen, which was suspended under the 
branch of a tree like that of the other species, and con¬ 
tained five eggs.
