BRITISH BIRDS. 



153 



on the 2nd June, 1815, and presented to this work 

 by Mr. R. R. Wingate. Its nest was built in a 

 woodbine bush, about a yard from the ground; 

 it was of a slight fabric, composed of the dried 

 stems of small grass, and curled small roots, and 

 very thinly interwoven or lined with a few hairs. 

 The eggs, five in number, were white, spotted 

 with brown, and intermixed with other spots of 

 a pale bluish ash. They are somewhat less than 

 those of the White-throat, and differently marked.
