THE Golden- Eye builds in the vicinity of lakes and rivers, giving a 

 preference to the latter, particularly such as flow over falls and rapids. 

 The Laplanders place boxes with holes in them, in the trees in these 

 localities, for the birds to build in, and thus procure the eggs, for the 

 cotes are sure to be resorted to for the purpose of laying in. The 

 nest is made of rushes and other herbage, lined with down. Mr. 

 Hewitson found one in a hole in a tree, ten or twelve feet from the 

 ground. 



The eggs are of a greenish hue, and from ten to fourteen in number.
