of the tallest tires, about thirty feet above the ground. Attn some difficul- 

 ty I reached the nest and found it to contain foui slightly incubated eggsof 

 the Dusk) Warbler. 1 had not dreamed of this being a nestofDusk\ War- 

 bler, for the othei nests I had found ranged from three to ten feet above the 

 ground and were -ill in low growing shrubs. 



This nest was similai to the others in construction but it anything .1 

 little larger on the outside; the dead brown leaves and grass used on the 

 outei part of the nest are arranged, as it win, in .1 shiftless manner, giving 

 the nest the appearance of a bunch of dead leaves lodged in the fork of .1 

 limb; the innei pari was snugly lined with hail of the wild goats which 

 abound on these islands; a few bark fibers are also used in the lining. The 

 eggs are plain speckled with cinnamon brown, chiefly .11 the I'argei end. 



Peeling much encouraged »with my good fortune I decided to stay au- 

 othei day on the island, so with an early start next morning 1 began a care- 

 ful search which finally resulted in a second set of three slightly incubated 

 eggs. This nest was in a green bush overhanging a bank in the bottom of 

 a deep canyon, about foui feet above the ground, well concealed in the foli- 

 age, Bird Unshed from the nest. Altitude about one thousand Feet
