Extract

During August 1953, the Hon. Miriam Rothschild, with the assistance of Dr Schifferli and Fritz Muhlethaler, succeeded in obtaining three nests of the Alpine chough Pyrrhocorax graculus L. on the Niesen (1200 m.) Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. Three nests of the snow finch Montifringilla nivalis L. were collected during the same period from behind gutters and under eaves on the railway buildings at Eigergletscher (2320 m.), Bernese Oberland, immediately after the young birds had flown.
