dens, feeding upon feeds, wafp-, bees, and ca¬ 
terpillars, and making a ’hoard of hemp-feed, 
when it has an opportunity. 
He collects feveral feeds in his bill, and carries 
them to his magazine, to eat them at his leifure; 
perhaps his manner of breaking the feeds, which 
requires a fituation where he may place them 
one at a time between his feet, and pierce them 
with the beak, may compel him to this inftancc 
of forefight. 
* The Marlh Titmoufe is a folitary bird, fre¬ 
quenting willows, and alder trees, and confe- 
quently marftiy fituations. It is common in Eng¬ 
land, and many parts of Europe. 
The LONG TAIL TITMOUSE. 
The head is white, the tail longer than the body, a broad 
{Leak of black unites at the back part of the head, and pafTcs 
down the back to the tail. 
This Titmoufe has a fmall, and proportionably 
a longifh body, which, together with the length of 
its tail, as its flight is rapid, would induce one to 
imagine that it was an arrow darting through 
the air. 
It inhabits the woods, is fprightly, and a&ive, 
never fcarcely a moment in repole, flitting from 
bufh to bufh, running along the branches in every 
direction.
