R, U P P E L L S WARBLE R. iutppells warbler. 27 tlie last edition of liis Manual in 1835. Its Europeanlocality has hitherto been confined to Greece, where itwas observed, though rarely, by Count Miihle. Accor-ding to Linderniayer it occurs in the bushy ravines ofthe Attic Mountain range, but Count Miihle found itonly in the Morea. The single specimen he capturedhe informs us, was sitting on the outstretching branchof a bush in the hollow of a rocky ravine. It appears in Greece in May, and leaves in August.It does not appear to be so sprightly or quick in itsmovements as its congener, the Dartford Warbler. Itwill sit on the end of a branch with hanging tailwhile guns are fired in the neighbourhood, withoutbeing alarmed. Count Miihle adds nothing about itssong, and says that its nidification and propagation isone of the points in its natural history still to beelucidated. Thienemann says the nest is cup-shaped,somewhat scantily and loosely built of dry stems ofplants, dry leaves, strip
