A neft of the V\ hite Throats was found on a 
plum-tree about three feet from the ground, in 
the form of a cap, compofed of mofs, interwoven 
with bents of dry grafs. Sometimes it is built 
entirely of grafs coatfer without, and finer within ; 
\v hite 1 broats lay five eggs of a greenith grey, 
With red and brown fpots. 
In countries where figs, and olives grow, it 
feeds on thofe fruits. It frequents our gardens in 
fummer, and leaves us in winter. It is a flay, 
2nd wild bird, and fings with an erefted crell.
