among other notes, " Mr. W. E. Rice found a nest at Oakland Valley, 

 Iowa, in the Spring of 1871 and took three of the young which were 

 successfully raised. The eggs are of a uniform chalky white color, 

 and are rough granulated on the surface. They measure 4.35 to 

 4.65 in length, and 2.65 to 2.90 in width." 



A number of notes have appeared in the ' Nuttall Bulletin ' and 

 'The Auk'. 



J. J. Dalgleish (Bull. Nuttall Orn. Club, 1880, Vol. V) mentions 

 the occurrence of Cygnus buccinator in Great Britain : " Five seen, 

 four shot, Adelburg, Suffolk, Oct. 27, 1866, one of these specimens 

 has been examined by J. H. Gurney." 



H. Nehrling (Bull. N. O. C, Vol. VII, 1882) says, "Every winter 

 there are large numbers on Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, 

 near the coast." 



W. W. Cooke (Auk, Vol. I, 1884) gives the "Chippewa Indian 

 name ' Wabisi' (White bird)." 



A. W. Anthony (Auk, Vol. Ill, 1886) says that it is "Found in 

 large numbers on the Columbia River." 



B. W. Evermann (Auk, Vol. Ill, 1886) says for Ventura, Cal., 

 "Winter Visitant with the preceding species (0. americanus) but 

 more common." 



Albert Lano (Auk, Vol. XIII, 1896) speaking of western Minne- 

 sota says: "Some of the oldest sportsmen tell me that they have 

 observed this swan quite regularly on Lac qui parle during the 

 Spring and Fall migrations. A beautiful adult male now in my 

 collection, shot near here (Madison, Minn.) April 9, 1893, weighed 

 15 lbs. but it was not fat. It measured: length 51 in., extent 77 

 in., wing 28 in., tail 7 in." 



E. A. Mcllhenny (Auk, Vol. XIV, 1897) says for Louisiana, 

 " known as " Cygne," a winter resident on the coast; more common 

 than the preceding (0. columbianus) ." 



J. H. Fleming, for Toronto, Ontario (Auk, Vol. XXIII, 1906), 

 "There are no recent records, but Prof. Hincks described in 1864 

 a new swan, "Cygnus passmori" taken here, which was really a 

 young Trumpeter and between 1863 and 1866 he was able to get 

 six local birds to examine. There are two specimens in the collec- 

 tion of Trinity University that were no doubt taken here." (Proc. 

 Linn. Soc. 1864.)
