F. C. SELOUS : NESTING HABITS. 51 



found a third lying- broken at the foot of the tree. How 

 it came there I cannot say. 



Judging from my limited experience the nest of this 

 bird is not placed either in large trees or far from the 

 ground. Two nests were placed in very small trees, and 

 were certainly not more than ten feet from the ground. 

 The usual height seemed to be from twenty to thirty feet. 

 None of the nests we saw were in dense forest, but usually 

 near the edge of clearings, amongst trees not growing 

 thickl}^ together.
