NEST AND EGGS OF THE GOLDEN CROWNED KINGLET 

 (REGULUS SATRAPA). 



BY T. M. BREWER. 



I HAVE been recently permitted to examine an example of one of 

 ten eggs from an unknown nest, but which, by the pretty sure 

 evidence of exclusion, cannot well belong to any other species of 

 bird than the Golden-crowned Kinglet {Regulus satrapa). The 

 nest was found in the neighborhood of Bangor, Me., was about 

 six feet from the ground, and is now in the possession of Mr. Harry 

 Merrill of that city. Through his courtesy I have been permitted 

 to examine one of its eggs, and to compare it with sets of the eggs 

 of Regulus cristatus and R. igniccqnllus of Europe. My reasons 

 for supposing the nest and eggs to belong to this species are, that 

 this bird is a not uncommon summer resident in that neighbor-
