141. RUTILA FAMILIARIS. ROBIN REDBREAST.

- Petti-rosso. I.
- Erythacus Rubecula. G. Rubecula Erythacus. Ges.

- Ruddock, in Cymbeline; tame Ruddocke, in Assembly of Fowlês; full robin-redebreast, in the Court of Love:
"The second lesson, Robin Redebreast sang."
It is rightly classed by F. and Y. with the Warblers. Gould strangely puts it with his rock-birds, 'saxicolinæ,'—in which, however, he also includes the sedge warbler.
The true Robin is properly a wood-bird; the Swedish blue-throated one lives in marshes and arable fields. I have never seen a robin in really wild mountain ground.
There is only one European species of the red-breasted Robin. Gould names two Japanese ones.
