38 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 



Lenape, while a number of other flight-lines converge from 

 the north and west. 



7. Milton, Sussex Co., Del. 



Mr. Jos. M. Laiip states that "there are winter Crow roosts 

 in the vicinity of Milton, on the farms of Wm. W. Conwell, 

 Greenbery W. Betts, David M. Robbins and David H. AVilt- 

 bank. The number of birds is almost innumerable but the best 

 estimation we can give for those which use the Conwell farm 

 would be 2,500 to 3,500. The woodland on this farm comprises 

 about ten acres, most of which is pine and large shrubbery." 



8. Fishing Creek, Cape May Co., K J. 



Mr. H. Walker Hand states that there was formerly, and prob- 

 ably still is, a roost near the head of Fishing creek, on the bay 

 shore of Cape May county, and that Crows feeding on the mead- 

 ows at Dias creek and northward flew south at night to this 

 roost. 



9. Salem, N. J. 



A very large roost about two miles south of Salem in low, oak 

 woodland. This was visited in January, 1899, by Mr. Witmer 

 Stone and described by him in Bird Lore for December, 1899. 

 Later, IMr. Chas. D. Kellogg succeeded in photographing a sec- 

 tion of the roost (see accompanying plates). It seems prob- 

 able that this is the successor of the Reedy Island roost, as the 

 latter location was deserted when the quarantine station was 

 built. Mr. Geo. W. Jones, keeper of the Reedy Island light, 

 writes that the Crows now pass over the island from Delaware 

 to New Jersey, but few stop and then only in very stormy 

 weather. 



10. Alloway, Salem Co., N. J. 



A small roost comprising several thousand Crows is located 

 near Alloway station, northeast of Salem, and was in use in 

 Januarj', 1899, when it was visited by Mr. Stone. We have no 

 data as to the flight-lines toward this roost. It would appear, 

 however, that the birds do not come from the west, as Crows 

 for some miles north of Salem fly south at night to the large 

 roost. 



11. Ash Swamp, Union Co., N. J. 



Mr. Dennis C. Crane writes : "As long as I can remember,
