Robins' Nests. — Mr. Donald Macdonald, in the last series of 

 his interesting " Nature Notes," states that when at Lome recently 

 he observed the nest of a Flame-breasted Robin built upon a 

 little ledge of a cliff on the Erskine River, instead of in a musk 

 tree, as is usually the case. This nest, contrary to the general 

 rule, was not decorated with lichens on the outside, and was of a 

 uniform grey like the rock. He asks how does this bear upon 

 the reason or instinct controversy, and says : — " Had the bird 

 followed a blind instinct it would have used lichens, as when 

 building upon the lichen-spotted musk trees, and so made its 

 nest conspicuous." His answer is that the action is to be regarded 

 as a proof of observation and discrimination on the part of the 

 bird. — Argus, ist February, 1907.
