f p H I S fpecies, I havereafon to think, is not feen in thzfouth of
England in the fummer feafon •, nor have I been able to af-
certain its breeding-place nearer than Cumberland, which Dr. Hey-
Jham allures me it does every year, making its firft appearance
there about April. He has never met with the neft, but has Ihot
the young ones in June more than once, and thinks that it departs
fouthward in OSlober, about the time it appears with us in
Kent-, for I do not recoiled ever feeing it before the 8th or
9th of that month.— Mr. Jackfon informs me, that it breeds in
Ireland.
