And both nest and eggs sustained the admiration which we felt for the adult blue honey-creepers. The nest was a fairy network suspended over the water, as thin and evanescent as the shadow of an oriole's purse, and the eggs were the strangest of all eggs in the world they were black. The home of the honey-creepers was delicately caught in the base of a great heart-leaf of a water arum, the mucka-mucka, beloved of hoatzins, and it swung in every breath of air barely four feet above the surface o...f the river's edge. It was exceedingly thin-walled, every detail of the eggs and the setting bird being plainly visible. And yet it was most durable and quite impossible to tear or even appre- ciably alter in shape, for it was composed of fine, but very strong thread-like rootlets, all of a uniform dark brown or black color. The small round opening was at the top, ob- liquely facing one side. The nest itself was 17 cm. High, and 8 cm. Across, while the nest hollow within measured 4 cm. In diameter by 7 cm.
