 [1843 or 1844]. "J. W." 



Out of twenty-five which I took myself. They were mostly hard

 most part eggs from the same nest were similar — all in one nest 

 being long, in another large, in another small and round; whilst one 

 nest had dark -coloured eggs, another had spotted, and so on. The 

 nests appeared to be composed chiefly of old twigs of larch, haw- 

 thorn, elm, and so forth. 1 had the picking of eight or ten nests, 

 there being five eggs in each.
