of birds’ eggs represents 23619600 birds, 
If collectors would pay more attention to the 
nesting habits of the birds and see how large a 
collection of notesthey can accumulate, they 
would be of more benefit to the science of 
oology. 
A collection of 10 sets of Robins eggs, in them- 
selves, would be of little value to science, but 
the facts that the collector COULD have RECORD- 
ED, and recorded without taking an egg, such 
as the number of eggs in each’set, the period of 
incubation and many other facts which could 
easily be taken, would be of great value to 
science, 
It is to be sincerely hoped that collectors in 
the future will pay more attention to their note 
books, and less to their cabinets.

AN 83-POUND CHINOOK SALMON. — Just 
what is the weight of the largest salmon caught 
in the Columbia is uncertain, asso many people 
who have to do with fish are given to being un 
certain in their statements, but the weight of 
testimony isin favour of about 80 pounds, as 
the outside limit of the Chinook. This has 
been aseason of unusually large fish, and many 
weighing from 60 to 70 pounds have been taken; 
but the very largest heard of is reported by Mr. 
J. M. Harrington, of Pillar Rock, who wrote 
that a salmon weighing 83 pounds had been 
brcught in by one of their boats, adding that it 
was the largest caught this year, and also the 
largest any one at the cannery had ever seen.
