The Nesting of the White-cheehed Finch-Larh. By W. Shore Baily. Pyrrliulauda Jeitcotis is a pretty, and fairly freely importedAfrican bird, but, as far as I know, tliey have not previouslyreared yonnLi- in this country. My pair. althou,£^h they hadnested with their former owner, Or. M. Amsler, made noattem])t to do so in my aviaries last year: this year they havebehaved better. Early in May I noticed the cock chasing the hen. a suresign that tliey were tliinking of housekeeping, so on Sundayafternoon. May 6th, I planted a seat near the entrance to theiraviary and settled myself comfortably to watch them with a viewto locating the nest. Both birds seemed very uneasy and severaltimes came flying in my direction. At one time the hen hadher beak full of dry grass, but after watching theni for morethan an hour I quite failed to obtain any idea of the whereaboutsof the nest. The aviary is a large one.
