The eggs, from which I have selected one to form the 
subject of the accompanying drawing, were amongst those 
which the assiduous and successful bird-nesting rambles 
of the late Mr. Hoy added to our collections; they were 
brought by him from the Continent, and are in the col¬ 
lection of Mr. H. Doubleday, of Epping, who has with 
his usual kindness sent me one to figure. The Messrs. 
Tuke have also received them from Germany. 
This species, like the rest of the genus, makes its nest 
in a tuft of grass upon the ground. It is of dry grass, 
moss, and a few hairs; the eggs are four or five in 
number.
