. The popular natural history . Zoology. 3o6 THE GOLDEN-CRESTED WREN.. GOLDEN-CRESTED WREN. cristatus.) -(Regulus creeper as it rurts up and down the branches, searching into the crevices of the bark for the little insects on which it feeds. 'I'he first specimen that I ever saw was traversing the branches of a fine " Blenhean Orange" apple- tree in an adjoining garden, and by my inexperienced eves was at first taken for a very young creeper. Like the creeper, it can even run up a perpen- dicular wall, peering into every little crevice, and stocking up the moss and lichens for the purpose of obtaining the insects and their eggs that are lying concealed. It will also eat the chrysalides that are found so abundantly upon the walls. All the movements of the Golden- crested Wren are full of spring and fiery activity, and the manner in which it will launch itself from one tree to another, and then, with- out a pause, commence traversing the branches, is a sight well worth seeing. Perhaps it is seen to best advantage among the fir trees, where it finds great scope for its active habits. Up one branch it scuds, down another, then whisks itself through the air to a fresh tree, and then flings itself back again to its former perch. Along the twigs it runs with astonishing rapidity, sometimes clinging with its head downward, sometimes running round and round them spirally, always twisting its pert little head in every direction, and probing each hole and crevice with its sharp, slender little bill. The rough- est-barked trees are its favourite resort, because in such localities it finds its best supply of insect food. The nest of this beautiful little bird is exquisitely woven of various soft substances, and is generally suspended to a trunk where it is well sheltered from the weather. I have often found their nests, and in every instance have noticed that they are shaded by leaves, the projecting portion of a banch, or some such protection. In onecase the nest, whic
