This set is palepinkish-white, thickly spotted at the larger ends. The neat bowl-shaped nests of this well knownbird, which are constructed of mud, are often placed at great altitudes, and we have taken theireggs over ninety feet from the ground ; yet one instance came under my notice where the nest hadactually been built on the bottom rail of a fence. The latter nest we found at Dallinga, South Grafton,during season 1894. Taken by Frank T. A. Jackson, in Walls paddock, South Grafton, Clarence River, , onI St October, 1892. This set of 4 eggs is of a beautiful deep salmon ground color, and beautifully zonedand blotched at the larger ends.
