rr^HE nest is said to be placed in marshy places, 

 and formed in a rude manner of grass. Mr. \V. 

 H. Fielden, with the Polar Expedition, found one on 

 a gravel ridge, at a height of several hundred feet 

 above the sea, in a hollow in a low willow bush, lined 

 with a few leaves and catkins. 



The eggs are described as being four in number, 

 of a dusky colour spotted with black. Those figured 

 by Mr. Fielden are of a bright yellowish brown, speckled 

 over with spots of a darker shade.
