Out of anest of five eggs found by Mr. Simpson [Hudleston], who 
was wading a little tomyright. The eggs were covered, and the nest 
floating among sedges where the water was nearly up to the fork. 
We could not get a sight of the bird; but as the Sclavonian Grebe 
is known to breed in Gottland (teste Meves and the Stockholm 
Museum [§ 5064]) we supposed the nest might belong to that species. 
Of the eggs three were hard sat upon, and two apparently fresh. I 
kept the feet of the young Grebes in spirit.

Found by Mr. Simpson [Hudleston] ina nest of six. He saw the 
bird close, and saw it twice leave the nest. He has a stuffed speci- 
men at home and is certain this was the same, namely Sclavonian 
Grebe. On the 17th I went with him to the moss, and saw a 
Sclavonian Grebe distinctly with my glass. He found another nest 
in the same place with young birds, of which he caught two or 
three. 
[One of the above was giyen to us by Mr. Hudleston on his return. }

Out of two nests which I visited, 18 June, the second still untaken. 
It was among bog-beans in a piece of water with very little cover. 
Here I saw and watched three pairs of Sclavonian Grebes swimming 
about, with their crest up. After the eggs were taken I saw one of 
the birds fly up towards the spot. The first nest had six eggs, of 
which Mr. Simpson [Hudleston] has three, as well as one from the 
second nest, which is white and nearly round. It was laid the night 
before. 
[One egg from the first nest was given to us by Mr. Hudleston and 
two others were sold at Mr. Stevens’s, 51 May, 1860, to Mr. Braikenridge, 
one of which has since passed into the possession vf Mr. Parkin. The 
following extract which Mr. Hudleston has allowed me to make from his
