THE OOLOGIST 



be done if fair dealing is the rule 

 adopted, by all concerned. 



As we "close our exchange books for 

 1911 we find one small box of eggs 

 lost in the mails still to be accounted 

 for, containing $4.15 worth of speci- 

 mens, which we will have to make 

 good unless it turns up in time. And 

 the only one account against us still 

 unsettled. This is for $4.30. A fairly 

 good account for the forever past 1911.

House Wren. 



Nest built in old pair of pants which 

 were hanging in saplings and eight 

 feet outside of the railroad right of 

 way, a half mile from city of March- 

 field, Wisconsin. 



The top of the nest was four and 

 one-half feet from the ground. The 

 six eggs were placed ten inches down 

 in the pant leg in nest composed of 



twigs; lined with fine roots and feath- 

 ers. 



The nest was found and photograph- 

 ed sometime in the latter part of the 

 month of May, 1910.

Additional Notes on the Summer Resi- 

 dents of Philadelphia County, 

 Pennsylvania. 



To "complete"' my list of summer 

 residents in this county (c-f Oologist, 

 October, 1910, page 116) I have the 

 following additional data to record, 

 some of which I overlooked when I 

 compiled my paper, and others I did 

 not use in my original contribution 

 because the records in it were based 

 chiefly upon personal observations, 

 but in the present list I have mostly 

 used information of other reliable ob- 

 servers. 



214— Sora; rare and formerly. It 

 bred until quite recently on the Tini- 

 cum Island marshes in Delaware 

 County, just across the Philadelphia 

 County line, and may still breed there 

 sparingly. 



273 — Killdeer; I found a nest on 

 May 13, 1910, at Bustleton, in which 

 young had been raised, and during the 

 spring and summer of 1911 several 

 pair bred in northeastern Philadelphia 

 County, but I failed to find any nest. 



289— Bobwhite; Mr. C. J. Hunt 

 found it "nesting in 1902 along the 

 Montgomery Pike in Philadelphia 

 County, and a nest with six eggs was 

 found in the same spot July 21, 1901." 



325 — Turkey Vulture. A nest with 

 eggs, I have been informed, was found 

 in the spring of 1910 along the wooded 

 rocky ridges of the Wissahicken 

 Creek, at Chestnut Hill, in Fairmont 

 Park. 



337— Red Tailed Hawk; Mr. R. C. 

 Harlow records a pair nesting in the 

 spring of 1905 above Fox Chase along
