Four relics of the Peale Museum were contained in the oological 

 collection of Dr. T. M. Brewer which came to the Museum of Compara- 

 tive Zoology in 1880. They consist of eggs collected by Alexander 

 Wilson and obtained by Dr. Brewer from Moses Kimball in 1850, 

 the year in which Mr. Kimball bought one half of the collections of the 

 Peale Museum. These eggs, according to the Brewer MS. catalogue, 



are as follows: 



No. of 

 Specimens. 



1. Recurvirostra americana Gmel. Coll. T. M. Brewer No. 57 1 



2. Cathartes aura septentrionalis (Wied) " " "41 



3. Haliaeetus leucocephalus leucocephalus (Linn.) 



Coll. T.M. Brewer No. 38 1 



4. Bubo virginianus virginianus (Gmel.) New Jersey 



Coll. T. M. Brewer No. 40 1 



Of these eggs I find two, the Turkey Vulture's and the Eagle's; 

 the other two are perhaps temporarily misplaced, since the collection 

 is now undergoing a re-arrangement. The Avoset's egg is probably 

 one of those taken by W^ilson from a nest on this bird's old breeding- 

 ground on the coast of New Jersey. See "American Ornithology," 

 7, 1813, p. 126.
