My brother's note respecting the above is as follows : — 

 " These four eggs were found in a hollow elm ti'ee, near the church. On 

 the 25th I put the old bird out from the tree ; but it was late in the evening, 

 and I was unable to see the eggs, which were quite at the bottom of the tree. 

 It was not until the morning of the 28th that they were discovered. On the 

 29th we cut a hole into the side of the ti'ee, and got them out. For the last 

 two years I do not think this species has bred here. The eggs this year were 

 quite fresh. In the tree were three halves of young Rats and half a Long- 

 tailed Field-Mouse ; in all four instances it was the * latter end. ' "]
