AJIINGO KfJO IS ITS NEST Oi' MUO, (lunger. Our tents wore piteuea on n .sand bar, and preparations were maile to visit Hie flamingo colonies known to e\lat In the vicinity. Subsequent research showed that the colony was regularly frequented by these birds as a breeding resort, but that apparently a different spot was chosen each year. Eight groups or villages of nests were found within si v.idiii.s of n mile, enih having evidently broil occupied only one yoar. The largest of these, placed on a inuil bar only an inch or two above the level of the surrounding water, was a hundred yards in length, and averaged about thirty yards in width. An estimate, based on an actual count ot a portion of this colony, gave a total of "JO!)o nests for an area of approximately only "T.coO square feet. This rookery we judge to have been occupied the previous year. ,Nt a distance of a mile we found nests scattered about in a dense growth of iuan:.;rov< s.

Although r.o .-hut was tired and a retreat was promptly n.ade, the birds were disturbed by our intrusion, and either discontinued operations or removed to nmnc other locality, nm! eventually we were forced to leave without seeing fresh nests.
