Text Appearing Before Image:
The Redbreast (Erithacus rubecula) LiNNiBus. MALE, FEMALE, NEST, AND EGGS. (JT^HE extraordinary sites selected by these birds for tbeir nests are well known. This nest is built in an old meat-tin, partly hidden by grass and deadleaves ; it contains three eggs, which are almost white. The male on the dead dock (Rumex) above the nest is in very goodplumage; but the female, from her greater exertions in nest building (?) is somewhatragged and out of condition. Collected - near Chester, and presented by Miss C. B. Tomlin andMr. R. Newstead, Senr.
Text Appearing After Image:
Golden-Crested Wren (Regulus cristatus) K. L. KOCH. MALE, FEMALE, NEST, AND EGGS. HE nest of this, the smallest of British birds, is so completely hidden beneath the yew branch f Taxus baccataj as to be scarcely seen; yet onexamination it is found to be carefully and securely suspended to the smallbranchlets with thick ropes formed of moss and spiders webs cleverly woventogether, the whole forming a wonderful piece of bird architecture. The upper specimen is the male, with its golden crest fully expanded. Thepale yellow crest of the female is also shown. Both birds have the power ofopening or closing the crest at will. The nest is in situ in the original branch, which has been carefully preservedand coloured. The specimens were collected in Cheshire by the Curator.
