642 Letters, Extracts, and Notes. [Ibis, 



Had we not been ordered off, I was making an expedition 

 to Lake Langaza and hoped to get a lot of water-birds. 

 I saw four Black Storks on the march down to Salonika, 

 but did not have time to go back to look for their nests. 

 Cetti's Warbler is abundant, but I could not find a nest ; 

 they live in impenetrable jungles of bramble.
