Hill, Concord, Mass. 
This morning we (W.Paxon and I ) heard two Partridges 
. drnimning and in Davis's swamp found a nest with 5 eggs. The 
bird rose directly from the nest at a distance of a gew yards. 
The eggs were so completely covered with leaves that not one 
of them could be seen until there covering was disturbed. 
The nest was on a mound in the middle of a cluster of tall 
blueberry bushes. «Amm_
