(Ans. to 7.) Marsh Hawk, One found on 
Galveston Island, ina low and flat district; 
the nest was placed onthe ground about one 
hundred yards froma pond. A nest found on 
the Allegheny Mis. was piaced on the ground 
under a Jow bush. In general the Marsh 
Hawks scoop the ground for the purpose of 
making their nest. From Audubon’s’*‘B rds of 
America.” 
The few cases of its nest having been placed 
on iow trees or bushes, may have heen caused 
by the presence of dangerous quadrupeds, or 
of their ezgs or young having been disturbed 
when on the ground. Audubon had never 
seen a nest of this bird, on a tree. H_. J. P.
