of the gardens of the central portions of England ; its nest is also frequently found among reeds and bushes

overhanging water. Besides our own country, this species frequents Central Europe and Northern Africa.
125. CaLAMOHERPE PALUSTRIS. . : : : : : : Vol. II. Pl. LXXIV.
Marsu-Warp_er.

Supposed to inhabit many parts of England, and to have been often confounded with the preceding ; said
to arrive at the same time and to be more exclusively ayuatic in its habits. Is considered always to
have lighter-coloured legs and to present other, minor differences, which may be more easily seen by
consulting the respective Plates than by the most miuute description. Should it ultimately prove that

the C. palustris is found here, it must be regarded as a regular summer visitant.

Genus CaLamopyra.

The members of this genus are smaller in size than the Calamoherpe, aud are less uniform in the colouring
of their plumage. The situations affected by both are identical, reeds and aquatic herbage being apparently
necessary to their existence; at all events it is in such situations that they pour forth their querulous songs
both by day and by night. The Calamodyte are very generally distributed over the temperate portions of
Europe, Africa, and Asia.

126. CaLAMODYTA PHRAGMITIS. : : : ; : : 2 : Vol. If. Pl. LXXV:
Sepce-WarBLer or Cnar.

A bird of the summer, which arrives early in May and spreads itself over England and Ireland, but not,

according to Sir William Jardine and Macgillivray, visiting Scotland. After breeding, it departs again to

Morocco or some other part of Africa.

127. CaLaMopyTA AQUATICA : : : : : : : : : : Vol. I. Pl. LXXVI.
Aquatic WARBLER.

Somewhat rare in Central and Southern Europe. Has been killed two or three times in England, where

it must be regarded merely as an accidental visitor.

Genus Luscrntiopsis.

According to Mr. Gray’s ‘ Hand-list of Birds,’ two generic titles bave been proposed by Bonaparte for the
single known species of this form, viz. Psexdoluscinia and Luscinopsis ; the latter term has been employed in

the present work.
