Plate III, Fig. I. Eggs of Bicknell's Thrush 



{Hvlocichla alicce biaknelli) 



NONE of the North American Thrushes lay so beautiful an egg as does 

 Bicknell's and none are so rare. So far as we know there are but 

 three sets in existence, of which the set of three eggs represented on our plate 

 (Figure I) was the last to be taken. For full particulars regarding the tak- 

 ing of this set see Warbler No. 3 of last year, page 67. Our colored plate 

 represents this set of three eggs accurately as to size and color. 



Plate HI, Fig. II. Eggs of the Salt Marsh Yellow-Throat 



{Geolhlypis trichas sinuosa) 



WE are disappointed in not having notes on the breeding of the Salt 

 Marsh Yellow-Throat to publish in connection with Plate III 

 which shows a set of eggs of this fine sub-species of the common Yellow- 

 Throat (A. O. U. No. 681c.) Mr. H. R. Taylor was to supply these notes 

 in time for the present issue of the Warbler, but owing to a long and se- 

 vere illness with which he is afflicted he has not been able to prepare any- 

 thing for publication yet, but we hope to have it for our next issue. Of all 

 the North American Warblers none lay an egg which, to our mind, is quite 

 so beautiful as that of the Salt Marsh Yellow-Throat, a complete set of which 

 is accurately represented on our Plate.
