[§ 8558. Zwo.—Elveden, 25 May, 1857. “KE. N.” 
My brother’s note runs :—“ Two eggs, also found on the same day as the two 
preceding nests, on the Livermere Road breck, about one hundred and fifty 
yards from the Barnham Slip, and two hundred from the Albemarle plantation. 
Isaac Allen had found the nest the same morning, and I found it after putting 
the bird off twice. Isaw only one bird at this nest, whereas at the three others 
I have found this year I have seen both birds. The eggs were very hard sat 
upon. My earliest recollection of a Curlew is on this spot.” 
[§ 3559. Zhirty.—Thetford Warren, 1857. 
My brother wrote :—“ Out of three dozen taken by the warreners up to the 
25th of May, on which day I brought them home. T. Smith, who is in 
place of Bales, now too old to attend to his banks, told me that some 
were taken a month ago. Several of them were hard sat, and two very nearly 
ready to hatch, and therefore probably a pair. There seems to be no great 
variety among these.” | 
[§ 8560. Stz—Thetford Warren, May, 1857. 
Out of ten, taken on the south-eastern part of the Warren by Adams, one of 
the warreners, and brought in towards the end of the month. My brother 
wrote that he had “paired” them according to the condition in which he 
found their contents—two had been incubated but one day, another two about 
a third of their time, and the third pair were nearly ready to hatch.] 
[§ 3561. Zwo.—Thetford Warren, 1 June, 1857. “HE. N.” 
My brother’s note is:—“ Shewn to me by Smith, the warrener. They were 
about two hundred yards to the north-west of the Lodge. I saw the old bird 
run from them. They had been incubated about two days.” ] 
[§ 3562. Fowr.—Thetford Warren, June, 1857. 
Two pairs taken by Burgess, to the north-east of the Thetford and Brandon 
road. My brother wrote that he “paired” them as before, in blowing, and 
thought they could be relied upon. | 
[§ 3563. Two.—Thetford Warren, 18 June, 1857. “FE. N.” 
My brother wrote :—“ Shewn to me by T. Smith, about a quarter of a mile 
to the south-west of the Warren Lodge. I saw both birds running from the 
nest. The eggs would have hatched in a few days.”]
