58 MEMOIRS OF THE NUTTALL ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB. 



(5) Eastern Point Light, Gloucester: a fixed and flash red light of the 

 fourth order, 60 feet above sea level on a tower 33 feet high. 



April 2d, 1903. 

 "I never find any birds around this lighthouse, as this is a red light and the birds 

 never follow that ray." 



{Signed) George E. Bailey. 



The red light is apparently not the cause of the absence of bird destruction, 

 for birds are killed by striking other red lights, as at Wood Island, Maine. 



(6) Baker's Island Lights : two fixed lights of the fourth order, 87 and 

 64 feet, respectively, above sea level, on towers 52 and 29 feet high. Under 

 date of February 3d, 1904, the keeper writes: 



"I have never known any large birds such as Ducks, etc., to strike against the 

 glass of the tower at this station. But frequently in foggy weather during spring and 

 summer months, I find small birds at the base of the towers, which have killed them- 

 selves during the night. On the morning of the dark or yellow day [September, 1881] 

 I picked up nearly one hundred of small birds .... Should I find any birds I will send 

 them to you." 



(Signed) Walter T. Rogers. 



(7) Hospital Point Light, Beverly: a fixed light of the third order, 63 

 feet above sea level, on a tower 39 feet high. The record from this light is as 

 follows, the letter being written to me on November 7th, 1904 : 



" In answer to your request about the birds I would state that there has been but 

 one killed by striking against this light since I have been at this station, which is 

 thirty years. That was a Woodcock in the spring of 1888." 



(Signed) Joseph H. Herrick, Keeper. 



(8) Marblehead Light : a fixed light of the sixth order, 43 feet above 

 sea level, on a tower 23 feet high. There is a small light on a mast 57 feet 

 above the main lantern. 



January 29th, 1904. 

 " I have not seen any birds kill themselves on my light since I have been here." 



(Signed) H. T. Drayton. 



(9) Egg Rock Light, off Nahant : a fixed red light of the fifth order, 87 

 feet above sea level and 25 feet above the rock. 



January 28th, 1904. 

 " I have now been here nearly sixteen years, and to my knowledge there has 

 not been one bird killed by striking the light tower in all this time. There are but 

 few birds that stop upon the rock ; I suppose it is because there are no trees for them
