[§ 1673. /'Wr.—Blox worth, Dorset, 2 June, 1876. " E. N."] 



Mybi'other's note is that he found the nest, with three eggs, in a blackberry- 

 bush, about two feet from the ground, on the 24th of May. On the 2nd of 

 June he " visited it twice, and each time saw the bird in it distinctly. I 

 satisfied myself that it was a Gai'den- War bier and not a Blackcap," though 

 the eggs are certainly very like Blackcaps' ; but the nest is substantial, like a 

 Garden-Warbler's.]
