SEDGE W. Junco minor, Sepp Vog. pi. in p. 99 ?
*4 ' H E bird figured in this author is fo much like the Sedge
Warbler, that I think them one and the fame fpecies. The
neft is fmaller than that o f the Reed Wren of Mr. Lightfoot; but
compofed of much the fame materials, though lefs deep. It is
not tied to the reeds in the manner o f that of the Reed Wren, but
the whole o f the fides o f the neft invelopes the reed which fup-
ports it. The eggs are three in number, o f a pale yellowilh
brown.
In the fame author I find a bird, by the name of Arundinacea
•minima, but no reference to any author. The neft of this is
Mr. Jackfon.
fattened round three forks o f branches j is o f a downy texture.
The eggs five in number, like thofe of the Junco minor, but
ipeckled with minuter brown fpots.
Dartford Warbler, Gen. Syn, iv. p. 435. N° 27.
T A M informed by an intelligent obferver of Englijh birds *, that
he has never met with this fpecies in the neighbourhood of
London, except in winter; and1 that it difappears before the end o f
April. Should this be the general fadt, I can by no means reconcile
the circumftance of its breeding in France f , as all migratory
birds go northward to breed, not to'a warmer climate; and ftiould
rather fuppofe, that if it does not quit England in fummer, it will
hereafter be found in the northern parts of it, as has been obferved
in refpedt to the Grey Wagtail.
Long-legged Warbler, Gen. Syn. iv. p. 465. N° 74.
* ' H IS fpecies varies : fometimes the colour is brown infteadof
green. As to fize, it muft be extremely minute, as one
weighed by Mr. Anderfon equalled no more than 120 grains J.
C I Z E very fmall : length three inches. Bill and legs yellowilh
: general colour brownifii : the Under parts o f the body
dulky white.
Inhabits Van Diemen’& land. Suppofed to be a variety o f the
Long-legged.
