Fields, of Fairland, says that for about six or seven years prior to 1891 or 
1892 they occupied a grove of about fifteen acres adjoining the town of 
Fairland, but the boys disturbed them so that they sought another locality, 
and they have since established several different roosts. He says that their ' 
present roost is four or five miles southwest of Fairland. Mr. J. G. Perry, of 
London, Ind., says this roost is located between London and Brookfield, on 
the north side of the railroad, where they have roosted every winter for 
the past four years at least. 
7. The roost near Irvington, as has been mentioned, was described by 
Mr. W. P. Hay February 24, 1890, in Bulletin No. 6, Division of Ornithol- 
ogy and Mammalogy, United States Department of Agriculture, pp. 18 
and 19. In 1893 or 1894 Mr. George S: Cottman visited this roost and pub- 
lished an account of it in the Indianapolis News. 
8. Mr. John 8S. Wright informs me there is a roost, which is not a 
large one, near Brown’s Valley, Montgomery county. 
9. Mr. Wright also tells me of a well-known roost near 
Camargo, Ii. There the crows gather by tens of thousands 
to roost in a scrub oak grove. It is said members of this company 
range nearly or quite across the first two tiers of counties in Western 
Indiana, more or less, nearly east of Camargo. Twenty or thirty years 
ago they are reported to have wandered by day as far as Terre Haute, 
Vigo county; Armiesburg and Montezuma, in Parke county, and Clinton, 
Vermillion county. There they obtained their food from the refuse of 
slaughter houses, which were prominent industries in those places. 
10. Mr. J. A. Balmer, in 1889, wrote me of a roost numbering prob- 
-ably five hundred birds, to be found in the two cemeteries at Vincennes 
through the winter. 
11. Mr. R. R. Moffett reports a crow roost at Slim Timber, White 
‘county, about twelve miles west of Brookston and twenty-one miles 
northwest of Lafayette. He estimates that one hundred thousand crows 
winter there. 
12. Dr. J. T. Scovell informs me there is a roost between Lake Maxin- 
kuckee and Logansport. 
18. Mr. H. A. Schulze, of Ft. Wayne, reports a roost in School District 
No. 7, Bath Township, Franklin county, Indiana, in 1891, and says it 
existed for at least ten years previous to that date. He estimates that 
1,000 crows were members of it. :
