found the nest of an American Golden- 

 eye Duck with six eggs, didn't disturb 

 them as the set was not complete. 

 Found several completed nests of Red- 

 shouldered Hawk but it was too early 

 for eggs. 



Each day until June i6th was near- 

 ly the same round of collecting inter- 

 spersed with little trips of one two or 

 more days to Devils Lake, Cuthead 

 Soux Indian Reservation, after Mound 

 Builders relics, trips to other smaller 

 lakes and large marshes, each trip an 

 outing in itself. 



That day June i6th I hurt my right 

 arm badly compelling me to stop 

 work of any kind thereby losing all the 

 best collecting. 



This accident was the cause of my 

 settling on the shore of Stump Lake 

 where my wife and I would be more 

 than glad to meet the Editor of the 

 Museum or any of his friends, who 

 might chance to visit this part of the 

 country.
