Four relics of the Peale Museum were contained in the odlogical 
collection of Dr. T. M. Brewer which came to the Museum of Compara- 
tive Zoédlogy in 1880. They consist of eggs collected by Alexander 
Wilson and obtained by Dr. Brewer from Moses Kimball in 1850, 
the year in which Mr. Kimball bought one half of the collections of the 
Peale Museum. These eggs, according to the Brewer MS. catalogue, 
are as follows:

4. Bubo virginianus virginianus (Gmel.) New Jersey 
Coll. T. M. Brewer No. 40 i - 
Of these eggs I find two, the Turkey Vulture’s and the Eagle's; 
the other two are perhaps temporarily misplaced, since the collection 
is now undergoing a re-arrangement. The Avoset’s egg is probably 
one of those taken by Wilson from a nest on this bird’s old breeding- 
ground on the coast of New Jersey. See “American Ornithology,”
