Ilaas. Nest and eggs. 
The Partridge's nest in Ivlrs. Barrett ' s vfoods was all right 
v/ith its oompliraent of IS eggs this morning. The hen oird was 
were 
sitting. She slipped off when we^ about ten yards distant and 
ran out of sight mahing, however, no peculiar demonstration. 
I exposfid a nvanber of plates on the nest. 
(A wall; this morning with W. Deane). The Partridge's nest 
was also safe with its thirteen eggs. One of them, however, 
lay on the ground several inches from the nest. I thinK. it 
must have been rolled out by the bird who started and ran off 
after her usual fashion but without maXiug her usual whining. 
This morning the Partridge was still sitting on her IS 
eggs in the Barrett woods.
