On April 20, while on a ramble, I discovered a Migrant Slirike's 

 nest. The nest consisted of coarse grass lined with feathers, and 

 was placed in a tall hedge about seven feet from the ground. 

 When approached she would fly from the nest or perch on the near- 

 by hedge or light on the ground in the distance, never ceasing to 

 watch my every move. When I left the nest she would return im- 

 mediately. Their favorite food ('mice) was impaled all along the 

 fence on the thorns. Though I visited the place frequently I 

 saw only the female bird.

Observation-' on the Yellow-billed Tripic-Bird (Phcethon. amcri- 

 caiiiis Grant) at the Bermuda Islands. By Alfred O. Gross. 



Contributions from the Bermuda Biological Station for Re- 

 search No. 23. With nine plates. From the Auk, Vol. XXIX, No. 

 1, pp. 49-71. 



This paper represents intensive studies of this species during 

 two summers. It is as complete a life history as could be ex- 

 pected, with some interesting additions from the observations of 

 those who live on these isolated islands. The accompanying pic- 

 tures give a graphic account of the growth of the young and their 

 development of feathers. We welcome it as another addition to 

 the literature on life histories. l. j.
