The eggs, four in number, were fresh. The general color was 

 white, with a rosy blush, dotted with reddish-brown spots, most 

 thickh^ sprinkled about the larger end, and does not much resemble 

 the average set of Yellowthroat's eggs, and measured .71 x .54, 

 .70 X .54, .71 X .54, .71 X .53. 



The last days of June, 1904, I saw a pair of Mourning Warblers 

 feeding young on a side hill near a ravine in Winslow, not far from 

 the Kennebec river. 



Mr. Dana Sweet, of Avon (Franklin Co.), sends me the follow- 

 ing from his note-book : "May 24, 1902. Saw a Mourning Warbler 

 about three miles west of my home, on low land near the Sandy 

 river. May 24, 1903. Went to the above locality and saw^ a Mourn- 

 ing Warbler singing on a limb of a tree. June 17th. Heard its 

 song near the same locality. June 2 and 4, 1904. I heard one or 

 two Mourning Warblers near Tim brook, in Eustis." This War- 

 bler doubtless breeds rarely in Mr. Sweet's locality. 



This Warbler seems to stay about near the locality after the 

 young leave the nest, and early in August or the first of vSepteniljer 

 it begins its southern movement.

We have received a copy of Taylor's Standard Egg Catalogue, 

 revised edition, by Henry R. Taylor, Alameda, California. 



This is a neat, handy little hand-book and will be appreciated 

 by collectors and exchangers. It has 92 pages. The first part of 

 1 1 pages contains the following of interest : Oological, Troublesome 

 Synonomy, European Methods on Egg Valuation, Concerning 

 Varieties, Don't be too Sure, Contraptions (by F. M. Dille), 

 F. M.'s Field Plan, Some good Ideas; one page on Nest Valua- 

 tion, and the balance of the book a list of North American Birds, 

 with valuation of each egg, of those that can be estimated.
