seventeen occupied nests of the 

 Robin in the trees which were 

 within reach of the path, and in 

 a distance of a mile and a half. 

 The stretcli would deserve to 

 he called Robin Row if there 

 were not so many other places 

 likeu ise distinguished. 



On this same trip Dr. Kev- 

 ser conducted me to a Robin's 

 nest which he had located some 

 days before in an osage-orange 

 hedge, and which he thought 

 might be convenient to photo- 

 graph. The mother bird was at 



the nest, but alas ! how helpless ! During some excitement i r s 

 the bird had become impaled on one of the thorns of an overar 

 and had struggled in vain, until death — all too lardy. T fear-
