*During October, 1885, a correspondent in Texas asked me 
to furnish him a list of the species which I had found breed- 
ing Delaware Co., Penn., with dates. I complied, and was 
surprised a week ago by receiving advance sheets of the 
Sunny South Odlogist, in which the list I had given last fall 
was made the subject of an article. About one month ago 
I was requested by one of the editors of the O. and O. io 
make out a list of Delaware Co. breeding birds, and this 
second list was compiled with a greater degree of care than 
the former one, and also contained several of the Sylvi- 
colide which I had found nesting, but owing to their ex- 
treme rarity, had not quoted them to my Texan friend. 
This will serve as an explanation of the publication of a 
somewhat similar article in another magazine.—Harry G.
