Ornithological Clui.\ that I uouid initiate them into some of 

 the mysteries of the donicstic life of this little bird. Accord- 

 ingly on the afternoon of the last day in May, 1908, we set 

 out for a former favorite locality about a mile from Bervvyn. 

 Jt had been a number of years hince 1 had given this species 

 any particular attention, and it was some time before the nest 

 and five eggs were found about half way up the hillside, under 

 the usual drift of dead leaves. The photographer, who had 

 actually located the nest, took a very good picture, showing 

 the situation admirably, and according to my way of thinking, 

 had slightly the best of the oologist, who fell heir to the nest, 

 the first of the species he had personally collected. Most of 

 my notes on this l>ird have been published. Chapman has 

 give.n tiie average size of the egg as .69 x.53. Here I find it 

 somewhat larger, however. Mean. .70 x .55, maximum, .76 

 X 59, minimum. .62 x .50. Five eggs are more often deposit- 

 ed than four. Frank L. Burns.
