A nest before me is composed of rushes and wiry grass, bitten 

 into suitable lengths, and bent round and interwoven here and 

 there into a platform of about half an inch in thickness ; a piece 

 of Lycopodium also being worked into it. The diameter of the 

 nest is 4*5 inches. Eggs white, and three in number for a 

 sitting, shell smooth. Length (A), 1-03 x 0-85 inch; (B), 

 1-01 X 0-85 inch ; (C), 1-06 x 0-85 inch. {Dohr. Mus. Coll.).
