NATURE NOTES 
Among the wildings noticed were Pedicularis sylvatica, Cardaviine flexuosa in 
abundance, C. pratensis just showing, and Viola Riviniana in large quantity ; in 
Bishop’s Wood Euphorbia amygdcUoides was well established, while on Batch- 
worth Heath Vinca minor in flower covered one of the banks, being indigenous 
in this locality. In a meadow Genista tinctoria, a rare plant in Middlesex, was 
also noted. Over twenty birds’ nests were viewed, conspicuous among them that 
of the long-tailed tit, a miracle of beauty and cleverness of construction. The 
songsters themselves were much in evidence ; half-a-dozen nightingales, and 
birds and thrushes almost unlimited swelled the avian chorus, to say nothing of 
smaller voices.
