Sylvia luscinoides, GOULD. 



Salicaria luscinoides, YAEKELL. 



THE nest, which is placed on the ground, is formed of the leaves 

 of the reed, wound round and interlaced, but without any other lining. 



The eggs are of a whitish colour, minutely speckled nearly all over 

 with pale red and light grey, in some the red, and in others the grey 

 predominating. 



One, figured by Professor Thieneman, is mottled over on a grey 

 ground with small yellow blots.
