BREEDING Notes.—On the third of June, 1906, I discovered in 
a birch tree near Ottawa a nest of the yellow-throated vireo con- 
taining two eggs. Both parent birds were around the nest. It 
was placed 20 feet up and was made of thin bark with wasps’ nest 
and spiders’ webs. All the brim was ornamented with lichens and 
the lining was of thin grass. Outside diameter 3.50 inches by 2.50 
inches high; inside diameter 2 inches by 1.50 inches. I took the 
bird, the nest and four eggs on the 6th of June. The eggs are creamy 
white spotted with reddish brown. (Garneau.)
