Ohs. Some interesting particulars with regard to 

 the nidification of this species as observed in India 

 by the late Mr. A. Anderson will be found in The 

 Ibis, 1872, pp. 81-83. According to Mr. Saunders, 

 large numbers arrive by the middle of April to breed 

 in the marshes of the south-west of Spain, and in 

 Italy this bird is well known on passage. Colo- 

 nies have also been found nesting in the swamps 

 of the Danube, as well as in Turkey, Greece, and 

 Southern Russia.
