ALBINO KINGBIRDS' EGGS 



May 20th, 1920 I collected a set of 

 four pure white eggs from a typical 

 nest of Kingbird. This nest was built 

 out ten feet on a horizontal limb of a 

 white oak overhanging the river. Nest 

 was same as any nest of this specie, 

 female was sitting close, eggs slightly 

 incubate, pure white and normal in 

 size and shape. I have seen many 

 sets of eggs of this specie but have 

 never seen even one egg in a nest 

 that was entirely without marking.

"WHAT THE AUTO KILLS" 

 By Ramon Grahatn, Ft. Worth, Texas. 



It is surprising to know and see 

 wliat the auto and its bright lights 

 kills, as it speeds along the paved 

 pikes around Ft. Worth. 



I picked up a full grown skunk on 

 a Pike road near here. It had been 

 run over by an auto. 



A man brought a' Civit cat to me to 

 be mounted, He had run over it on 

 the same pike. 



I picked up two full grown opossums 

 on the Lake Worth Pike. One of 

 them was smashed flat. 



I also observed snakes, jack and cot- 

 ton tail rabbits. Owls, rats. Meadow 

 Larks, etc., that had been killed by 

 tlie auto at night. 



I picked up one Herring Gull which 

 showed no signs of being shot on a 

 paved pike just at sunrise. 



One man reports of running over a 

 coyote near here. 



The good roads and auto are fast 

 killing out the game birds and animals 

 of Texas. And I suppose it's going 

 on everywhere. 



A hunting party can leave Ft. Worth 

 and in a day's time be in the best of 

 big game country. Good roads lead 

 right into the best deer, bear, turkey, 

 and quail country in Texas. 



Without good roads and the auto 

 the game would have lasted many, 

 many years. 



I have nothing against good roads 

 and autos. I use the roads and my 

 auto on my yearly hunts and collec- 

 ing trips and without good roads it 

 would be impossible to collect and ob- 

 tain specimens that are collected now 

 days. Will be glad to hear other re- 

 ports on this subject.
