YELLOW-BROWED WILLOW WREN DALMATIAN REGULUS. 



PLATE CXXXIII. FIGURE III. 



Phylloscopus superciliosus, . . . . GMELIH. 

 Regulus modestus, GOULD. 



THE nest of this accidental visitor is of slighter construc- 

 tion than that of the Goldcrest, made of grass and moss, 

 sparingly lined with finer grass, reindeer's hair, or feathers, 

 and a few spiders' egg-bags on the outside. It is placed on 

 the ground; by preference near the edge of a wood, or at the 

 root of some small bush or tree. 



The eggs are six in number, pure white, mottled over 

 with reddish brown, especially about the larger end ; some 

 much marked, and others only minutely spotted.
