THE nest is placed on the ground, among the larger herbage, on the 

 sides of banks, and among low brushwood. It is well concealed, and 

 is composed of dried grass and a little moss, the blossoms of the reed 

 leaves, small stalks, and roots, and is lined with finer moss, hair and 

 the beautiful down of the cotton-grass. 



The eggs are four, or five, or six in number, and of a greenish blue 

 colour. The shell is very delicate and fragile. J. R. De Capel Wise 

 Esq. has forwarded me a specimen for the use of this work. 



One is of a greyish green, spotted with a few pale reddish spots. 



A second is of a greyish green, spotted with red, more at the 

 thicker end. 



A third is of a light yellowish green, faintly spotted with red.
