Abbott's Collection of North American 



Warblers' Eggs. 

 To "The Oologist": 



Recognizing your shortage in notes 

 and articles it might possibly interest 

 the readers of THE OOLOGIST to 

 know that I have about completed my 

 collection of North American Warbler 

 eggs. 



■While usually regarded as a crank 

 on shore birds, I have not overlooked 

 this interesting family of birds, the 

 Warblers, and take pleasure in de- 

 scribing to you in what here follows 

 the type set of each variety, the lo- 

 cality in which it was taken, date and 

 name of the collector. Among these 

 names the readers will recognize many 

 able and experienced field men in 

 their respective sections of the coun- 

 try. Gerard Alan Abbott.
