_Registry of Dissenting Baptisms in Churches_ (Vol. iii., p. 370.).--I forward extracts from the Registers of the parish of Saint Benedict in this town relating to the baptism of Dissenters. (Mr. Hussey, mentioned in several of the entries, was Joseph Hussey, minister of a Dissenting congregation here from 1691 to 1720. His meeting-house on Hog Hill (now St. Andrew's Hill) in this town was pillaged by a Jacobite mob, 29th May, 1716. He died in London in 1726, and was the author of several works, which are now very scarce.) "1697. October 14th. William the Son of Richard Jardine and Elisabeth his Wife was baptiz'd in a Private Congregation by Mr. Hussey in ye name of the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost. "Witnesses, Robert Wilson, Richard Jardine. "1698. Henery the Son of John and Sarah Shipp was baptized in a Private Congregation by Mr. Hussey December 1. Elisabeth the Daughter of Richard and Elisabeth Jardine was born ye twenty-first day of January and baptized the second day of February 1698/99 in a Private Congregation. "1700.

COOPER. _Redwing's Nest_ (Vol. iii., p. 408.).--I think that upon further consideration C. J. A. will find his egg to be merely that of a blackbird. While the eggs of some birds are so constant in their markings that to see one is to know all, others--at the head of which we may place the sparrow, the gull tribe, the thrush, and the blackbird--are as remarkable for the curious variety of their markings, and even of the shades of their colouring. And every schoolboy's collection will show that these distinctions will occur in the same nest.
