later than that species, tlie eggs not having been got before the 

 middle of April. In a series they are generally of a richer style of 

 marking and colour than those of the other. The nest is built of 

 sticks, lined with rags of burnous, placed in a rock, and commonly 

 supported by a bush. 



[Mr. Salvin's remarks on the nidification of this species will be found in
