PLATE I 

 YELLOW BUNTING. Ember iza citrinella 



May 1898. The nest from which this Plate was taken was built on a bank at 

 the outskirts of a small wood near Newmarket, and quite close to the road. 

 I found quite a number of Yellowhammers' nests about this time ; and although 

 many of the clutches were highly incubated, I never found a nest with more 

 than three eggs in it.
