Abstract
IN his interesting article on the black redstart in NATURE of May 27, Mr. Fitter says that it "was not known to breed anywhere in the British Isles before 1923". It is well over forty years ago that I watched a pair of these birds throughout their nesting activities at Bush Hill Park, near Enfield in Middlesex. I regret that in the end I took the clutch of four eggs. These eggs were sold at Stevens' auction on July 16, 1918 (Sale No. 12,981, Lot 53) on my leaving England and after this interval I can give no more precise data.
