A nest was taken at Urbana on August 28 by Mr. Cherrie. It contained one 

 fresh egg. The nest was placed in the top of a small tree on a submerged island 

 in the Orinoco, six feet above the water. The parent bird sang at the top of his 

 voice while the boat stopped to take the nest. The nest hangs in the fork of a 

 branch, like the nest of the European oriole {Oriohis galhula). Its bottom and 

 sides are thin, and it is composed of dry grasses and fibres, outwardly sparingly 

 covered with cotton-wool and little white spider-webs. The cup is about 3J cm. 

 deep, aud measures about 7 cm. across. The egg is of a quite glossless white, 

 sparingly covered with small deep red-brown spots and minute dots. It measures 

 23-6 by Ki-.j mm.
