Acknowledgments are also due E. W. B. Canning, for donation of an 

 egg of the Great Northern Diver (Golymbus glacialis). In the "Report 

 on the Ornithology of Massachusetts," by William B. 0. Peabody, we 

 find that this bird breeds in the fur countries and the British Provinces, 

 in the most retired places which it can find, in rocky islets, or the borders 

 of lakes, but that the present specimen was found in this State establishes 

 the fact that it occasionally breeds here. 



E. S. Rand, Jr., of Dedhani, presented duplicate eggs of the Night 

 Hex'on ( Nycticorax garden!). 



E. A. Samuels presented the nest and egg of the Chestnut-sided 

 Warbler {Dendroica pennsylvanica). The nest of this bird is seldom 

 found, and the egg is quite rare, never having been found, we believe, by 

 those greal naturalists, Audubon and Wilson. Mr. James Eliot Cabot
