Two eggs, one in a nest, the other from the oviduct, were taken on August 11, 

 1898. Unfortunately nothing is said about the situation of the nest, but it appears 

 to have been placed horizontally with the entrance-hole at one end. It is a most 

 extraordinary structure of about 44 cm., and composed of pieces of dry twigs about 

 three to five inches in length. All are put together very loosely in a bnsh, with 

 short and thin but most formidably sharp thorns. There is a hole at the narrower 

 end, and a sort of chamber in the broader portion. It is astonishing how such a 

 small bird (wing about 55, tail 80 to 85, total length not more than 150 mm.) 

 worked together such a large structure. The eggs are of a uniform pale cream- 

 colour with a slightly greenish tinge, and measure 21 by 15 and 20 by 15 mm.
