Woop-Cuart.
Although this bird has been killed in England several times, it can only be regarded as an accidental

oO

visitor. It is said to have bred in this country ; but, for myself, I have never seen an authenticated ege

which had been taken herein.

Family MUSCICAPIDA.
The various members of this family are very generally dispersed over the countries of the Old World.

When I published my Plates of the two following species, the late Mr. George R. Gray had recently
indicated, in his ‘ Catalogue of British Birds,’ that the old Muscicapa atricapilla pertained to the genus
Muscicapa, and the M. grisola to the genus Butalis ; but in his more recent ‘ Hand-list’ he makes the latter

the type of Muscicapa, and places the former under Sundevall’s subgenus Hedymela.

Prep FiycaTcuEr.

A well-known migrant to Britain, chiefly frequenting the northern portion of England, where it breeds.
It is rarely met with in Scotland, and never in Ireland. For an interesting note by Mr. Stevenson on a
singular immigration of this species on the Suffolk coast in September 1869, see the ‘Zoologist ’ for that
year, p. 1492.
