young growers from the main trunks of the elms, and 

 perhaps as often in the forks of willows, tamarisks, and 

 olive-trees. The nest is very much more substantially 

 built than that of the other Warblers of this family ; 

 the eggs much resemble those of the Lesser Whitethroat. 

 The song of this bird, though more powerful than that 

 of our Blackcap, cannot, in my opinion, be compared 

 with it for melody or sweetness, in fact, I have always 

 been puzzled to know why the name of Orpheus should 

 have been bestowed on this species.
