1 Seen at Spofforth, Apr. 5, 1833.-W. H. 2 There is strange confusion in the entries respecting the willow wrens in the Calendar published from Mr. White's papers after his death. Three sorts were known to him, as he distinctly says in a former passage: the Sylvia Trochilus, or yellow wren; the Sylv. sylvicola, or wood wren; and the Sylv. loquar, or chiffchaff; but there are five entries of such wrens in the Calendar. By reference to what he has said in other places, it should seem that the chiffchaff appears the first. Therefore, in the entry, March 19th, we must read, instead of Small uncrested willow wren, Chiffchaff, Sylv. loquar. In a subsequent page, Mr. White states this bird to be the chiffchaff, and to be usually heard about the 20th of March.-W. H.
