The nests, built in April, are 

 curious bottle-shaped structures, 

 composed of leaves, fine grass, weeds 

 and feathers, closely interwoven and 

 suspended to a branch of the cedar 

 or juniper, from eight to twenty 

 feet from the ground. They meas- 

 ure about 8 inches in length 12 in 

 circumference at the largest and 

 5 at the smallest part. The entrance 

 is on one side near the top, curious- 

 ly concealed by an over-hanging 

 flap. The eggs are pure white, 

 measuring .55x.35. Black-eared 

 Tit. Psaliriparus melanotis. Exact- 

 ly like preceeding in form and size 

 but with a glossy black stripe 

 through and around the eye and ear, 

 nearly meeting its fellow on the neck. 

 Of very rare occurrence, I have shot 

 a few from flocks of the lead-colored 

 Tit with which they seem to assoc- 

 iate. The nests are like those of 

 the Lead-colored Tit and they prob- 

 ably nest in the same locality as I 

 shot two old and five young birds 

 near Silver City in the summer of 

 1884.
