PLATE I 

 HEDGE-SPARROW. Accentor modularis 



May yd, 1896. The nest from which this Plate is taken was built in a 

 small spruce, in a large wood in South Perthshire. In another small tree of 

 the same species, not twenty yards off, I found a second nest, in which 

 there were five eggs, all of which had been sucked by some animal, presumably 

 a mouse.
