 early in October, 1906, it has been my privilege to give one day of

 ecological bird stndies along the seven miles of this narrow neck of 

 sand. A report of this work was given in the December. lUdG, linlle- 

 tin. page 12G. Further notes are given here relating to the winter 

 and spring months.
