r 1 1HE Golden-Eye builds in the vicinity of lakes and 

 rivers, giving a preference to the latter, particu- 

 larly 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 



w 



the ground. 



The eggs are of a greenish hue, and from ten 

 to fourteen in number.
