Under recent date we received the 

 following item of interest from Chas. 

 C. Purdum, Wood's HoU, Mass. "Yes- 

 terday I had the rare fortune to find in 

 on old cedar swamp, about two miles 

 from home, two sets of three each of 

 the Black throated Green Warbler, 

 {Dendroica virens,) I know of only 

 two other sets having been taken in 

 Barnstable Co., although I have 

 observed many of the birds." 



H R. Taylor, the hustling editor and 

 publisher of the Nidiologist, is not of 

 the closet kind, but can be ranked with 

 the foremost of our active Field Oolo- 

 gists. Among the "nice things" he col- 

 lected early in the present season, we 

 note thirteen eggs of the Golden Eagle 

 and a set of five White-tailed Kite. 



Rev. P. B. Peabody,who is now Chap- 

 lain and Instructor in Greek, Latin and 

 Higher English at the Breck School, 

 Wilder. Minn., in a letter of recent 

 date, he writes: "You will be interest- 

 ed to know of my having taken, per- 

 sonally, April 7, at the famous Heron 

 Lake, six miles from here, a set of Can- 

 ada Goose. 



Necrology. 



During the past few months, through 

 the intervention of that grim power, 

 Death, we have been ©bliged to erase 

 the names of the following active col- 

 lectors and students from the subscrip- 

 tion books of the Oologist. 

 Brill, Wm. B., Hempstead, L. I. N Y. 

 Dodge, Harold H.. Mentone, Calif. 

 Quincey, Edward, Boston, Mass., and 



Isle on Haute, Maine. 

 Turner, Wm., St. Paul, Minn. 



Accompanying the Mss., Dove Life in 

 Arizona, which appears in this issue of 

 the Oologist; a relative writes as fol- 

 lows: 



"The writer of the enclosed, [Harold 

 H. Dodge], a subscriber and occasional 

 contributor to the Oologist, has re- 

 cently passed to the higher life. He 

 was a devoted lover of Nature in every 

 form of her manifestation, and a short 

 time before his death he prepared, from 

 his notes, this article for your journal, 

 and I herewith send a copy for inser- 

 tion, should you desire to do so."
