Found in a nest-box [tylla] . The nest consisted of feathers and 

 rotten wood. 



[Kuoblock, to ■whom these eggs, iu Mr. "SVoUey's absence, were brought, 

 seemed to suspect them ; but, after careful comparisori, I see no reason to 

 doubt that they were rightly assigned by the bringer. Nests of this species 

 built with feathers have been above described ; but these eggs are characterized 

 by very large markings, so as to be quite exceptional in the series. I may here 

 mention that Mr. "VVolley satisfied himself that this was the only species of 

 Titmouse that ordinarily bred in the districts that he explored. A few 

 examples of the so-called Parus borealis from time to time occurred, and he 

 once met with P. major ; but he never obtained evidence that either species 

 bred in Lapland.]
