In the course of our season's search for the young hirds 

 which wc required for certain j)r()l)lenis, we came across 

 many interesting nests. Some were of unusual arcliitec- 

 tural construction, others were remai'kahle because of their 

 adaptive form or coloring, still others possessed the distinc- 

 tion of being undescribed, quite new to man's scientific rec- 

 ord. The majority of the notes made upon all of these 

 classes have been filed aw^aiting publication when further 

 details and more complete information as to their method 

 of construction or reason for requiring protection, are 

 secured. 



It seems desirable to record the nests and eggs which 

 have not heretofore been described or are almost unknown, 

 especially as I am able to supplement the descriptions witli 

 photograjihs. The species are as follows :
