Sylvia. Syiva—A wood. Trochilus—‘A little bird called a Wren.’ 
In Europe, the bird before us is common in Spain, France, 
and Italy, and also visits Russia, Norway, and its islands 
even within the arctic circle, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and 
other parts. In Asia it has also been observed in Persia, 
by my friend Mr. Strickland, and Mr. Gould has received 
specimens from India. Meyer says that it is common also 
in North America. 
In this country it is plentiful in the southern and eastern 
counties—Kent, Sussex, Hants., Wilts., Dorset, Devon, Corn- 
wall, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Derbyshire, Durham, and 
Northumberland: in Cornwall it is rare. In Yorkshire it is 
very abundant near Sowerby and Thirsk, as Hdward D. 
Swarbreck, Esq. informs me. 
It occurs also in Scotland, even in the extremity of the 
mainland, plentifully in Sutherlandshire, about Tongue and 
Loch Assynt, Laing and Loch Naver, Leith Water, Currie, 
Slateford, Edinburgh, and the Pentland Hills. In Ireland 
also, throughout the island, even in the extreme west, from 
south to north—from Kerry to Donegal. 
In Orkney it is noted as having been observed at Clestron, 
in Orphir, during spring; it appeared in the neighbourhood 
of Ellsness, in April, 1825; and one was killed by Mr. Strang, 
May 20th., 1839. Another was seen in a plantation at 
Muddisdale, near Kirkwall, June 2nd., 1847.
