(2) Robins nest in a Magic Lantern. 



Some Robins once built their nest 

 in a magic Lantern in the studio of Mr W.T.Lu- 

 cas, they began to build in the lantern about the 

 middle of Feb., gaining admission to the studio 

 by means of the ventilator. 



The birds were at once cleared out but recomen- 

 ced operations a second; again they were evicted 

 but not to be defeated, they then began to build 

 on a shelf in the btudio. 



This, nowevtr, they found too narrow so they 

 started to build for the third time in the lantern. 

 The female deposited her eggs at the rate of one 

 a day tor live successive days. 

 The lantern had both side and back doors closed 

 during the building operations, but as the back 

 door did not quite fit at the bottom the birds 

 got underneath it.
