[^ 2102. i^o^^r.— Leek, Donegal, 24 April, 1863. " R. H." 

 From Mr. Robert Harvey, 1864. 



Mr. Harvey writes that he took these himself from a silver-fir close to the 

 avenue of Leek Glehe, adding : — " This is the third nestful of these curiously 

 pink eggs of F. ccelebs that I have taken in successive years in nearly the same 

 spot." These are most beautiful eggs, such as 1 have hardly ever seen 

 before ; small and much rounded. Hardly any one would suppose that 

 they belonged to this species.] 



[§ 2103. i^/ye.— Leek, 3 May, 1863. " R. H." From 

 Mr. Robert Harvey, 1864. 



Mr. Harvey writes that he took this nestful himself, and considers them 

 typical eggs (which they certainly are), to contrast with the last.]

My brother's note is that he found this nest about the 1st or 2nd of the 

 month, in a little thorn-bush about four feet and a half from the ground. The 

 first e^g was laid on the 8th. The bird was upon the nest when he went to 

 take it.]
