A few days ago I was shown by Mr. J . 

 W. Morrison the nest, or nests rather of a 

 pan- of Eobins, M&rula mig-ratorijis, (new 

 version,) built on a window cap under the 

 peak of the roof of a house. Mr. Morrison 

 says that on May 28th the first brood of 

 young were hatched and the parents at 

 once began to build a new nest immedi- 

 ately above the first. A second comple- 

 ment of eggs were deposited and hatched 

 out, and for the third time the birds pro- 

 ceeded to build, selecting for the site of 

 their new home an adjacent tree. The 

 nest was completed here, but the old birds 

 were so bothered by their yoimgsters that 

 they finally abandoned this nest in the tree 

 and returned to their old stand under the 

 peak and put their fourth nest on the top 

 of the two already there, and from this 

 third story they brought out their brood./

Several correspondents of the O. and 0. 

 mention that they have found spotted 

 Robins ' eggs. These statements remind 

 me that twelve or fourteen years ago I 

 found a Eobin's nest containing four eggs 

 marked with fine brown spots. In those 

 youthful days the art of blowing eggs and 

 keeping them in sets was unknown to me. 

 The single egg which I took is now extant 

 and shows the.markings distinctly/1^.
