Great Yellow-legs. On June 9, 1883, 
I found a nest of Totanus melanoleucus 
in a bog quite near a brook. The nest 
was composed of bog grass and a very 
few feathers for lining. It was concealed 
by tall grass so that one might have 
walked over it often and not have seen it. 
The nest contained two eggs, about 1^ 
inches in length by The ground color 
was dull olive, with dark umber blotches, 
which were largest at the larger end. I 
had one egg taken away at a time, taking 
two and leaving two in the nest to hatch. 
I have seen the bird a number of times at 
I the brook before and since finding the 
nest. Can any of your readers inform me 
whether this is a rare find or not in this 
section. — Thos. Morgan , Somerville , N~. J.
