1 N my Synop/ts I have faid, that this bird had been brought 

 from Jamaica, I think it neceflary here to inform the reader, 

 that my friend, who related to me she circumftance, was led into 

 the error, from receiving it among fome other birds which were 

 natives of that place ; but was afterwards informed that it had 

 been added to them in England, after their arrival.

T HAVE never yet been able myfelf to afcertain the neft and 

 eggs. In Sepp's plate the neft is placed on the ground among 

 l\\e fedges. It is of a very loofe texture, compofed of the tops of 

 dry grafs, mixed with the feed-heads of rayJ^w and reeds, -^'nh. nar^ 

 row leaves intermixed. The eggs four in number, of a reddifh 

 white, marked with fmall brown fpots.

 very common about the Cafpian Sea and Palus Maotis, and among 

 the rulhes of the rivers which fall into them j but in no high la- 

 titudes in Jfta. None in Sibiria *.
