YELLOW-BROWED WARBLER. 



DALMATIAN REGULUS. 

 PLATE CXXXIII. FIGURE III. 



Phylloscopus superciliosus, GMELIN. 



Regulus modestus, GOULD. 



HMHE nest is of slighter construction than that of 

 the Goldcrest, made of grass and moss, sparingly 

 lined with finer grass, hairs, or feathers, and a few 

 spiders' egg-hags on the outside. It is placed on the 

 ground, either open, or by preference near the edge 

 of a wood, or at the root of some small bush or tree. 

 The egg is pure white? or pale greenish white, 

 mottled over with reddish brown, and very much so 

 round and about the larger end, with sometimes a few 

 spots of purple grey; some are much marked, and others 

 only minutely spotted. Mr. Scott most kindly gave me 

 a specimen for my collection.
