These two eggs I took quite fresh from a nest in a fir-tree in the 
Old Moor Wood at Strelley, early in August. The bird discovered 
itself by flying from the nest, on the approach of our party. Both 
*Wood-Pigeons and Stock-Doves breed in the ivy-covered trees 
between Strelley church and the house. Barbary Turtle-Doves are 
turned out to breed about the house during summer and never 
wander far from it.

The nest in a Scotch fir-tree, was found by the bird flying off it.

A boy climbed to it, and brought me the egg on the spot. We were 
Partridge-shooting at the time in Marmon’s Grave Plantation. |

Mr. Tristram. 
Given to us under the name of Palwmnbus excelsus, Bonaparte (Comptes 
tendus, 1856, p. 856), for, on the representation of Dr. Buvry (see Journ. fiir 
Orn. 1857, p. 195), Prince Charles Lucien thought that the Algerian Ring- 
Dove was a distinct species. Messrs. Salvin and Tristram, however, obtained 
specimens which were not different from our own (Ibis, 1859, p. 318, and 1860, 
p- 152).] 
[§ 2808. Zwo.—Fox Hall, Donegal, 5 May, 1863. “R. H.” 
From Mr. Robert Harvey. 
Mr. Harvey writes that he took these himself in Fox Hall Wood, about 
four miles from Letterkenny. |
