STOCK DOVE. 127 



A pair built, in May, 1882, in the tower of Nunburn- 

 holme Church, but after a short time forsook it and 

 left the place. So one or two did before in the tower 

 of the Church of Ebberston, in the North Riding, as 

 the Rev. Julian G. Tuck has sent me word. 



The eggs, white, are smaller than those of the 

 Queest, and somewhat pointed at the smaller end, but 

 rounded on the whole, and of an oval shape. They 

 have been known, fresh laid, even so late as the 2nd. 

 of October, (1875).
