122 THE OOLOGIST A7(\e), so 
appeared and were not seen again 
during the month, 
On August 8, 1910, I found an adult 
male Chestnut-sided Warbler, a pair 
of Black and White Warblers, and a 
family of Carolina Wrens, consisting 
of the parents and three youngsters, 
at Pompton Lakes. At Oakland, a 
pair of American Pipits were located 
for the first time this year. All of the 
above, with the exception of the Red- 
start, which is a common summer 
resident, are usually scarce in these lo- 
calities at this time of the year. 
On August 14, 1910, I found a part- 
ly Albino Robin in Branch Brook Park, 
Newark, in company with a small 
flock of about twenty. The bird’s 
marking were all normal with the ex- 
ception of its wings and head. The two 
outer primaries and several of the 
greater coverts were clear white, and 
the nape of its neck, crown and auri- 
culars were also pure white, The bird 
remained in and near the park 
throughout the month.

Abnormal Chimney Swift Eggs. 
While on a trip through Passaic Co., 
at Pompton Lakes, N. J.. on May 26, 
1910, I had the pleasure of locating a 
nest of the Chimney Swift (Chaetura 
pelagica) in which two abnormal eggs 
were found. 
The nest was located in the main 
chimney of an old farm house quite 
near the top and contained a clutch 
of five eggs perfectly normal in color 
and appearance, Two of these were 
at least one-half again as large as the 
other three, which were normal in 
size. 
The two big eggs measured .89 x .62 
and .85x.59; and the three small 
Ones x ols Wo x48) wand W4esee5 0: 
I have neither the eggs or a picture 
to substantiate the aboye record, as 
the presence of the nest was already 
known to the owner of the house and 
she positively would not listen to any 
suggestion as their value to oology. 
She was one of the class of bird lov- 
ers who will only consider their econ- 
omic value and companionship. I must 
say I would have much liked to have 
taken the set, but out of respect for 
the good old lady and her great love 
for our bird friends, could not per- 
suade myself to attempt to steal a 
march on her and secure them at any 
risk.

a 
Walter Raine at the Toronto Exhibi- 
tion, 1910, 
The Natural History Exhibit, con- 
Sisting of Stutfed Birds, Animals, 
shells, Butterflies and living Fish in 
tanks, is this year located under the 
Grand Stand, just east of Nasmith’s 
Dining Hall. 
Here is to be seen an attractive ex- 
hibit of Birds’ Nests and Hegs from 
the extensive collection owned by W. 
Raine, of Kew Beach, Toronto. As 
the space is limited, it is impossible 
to show Raine’s entire collection 
(numbering over 50,000 specimens, one 
of the largest in North America); but 
enough specimens have been selected 
from the collection to make a fine dis- 
play, that will, no doubt, prove inter- 
esting as well as instructive. 
The eggs of the Ostrich family are 
well represented, for, in addition to 
the eggs of the common Ostrich from 
Africa, are to be seen eges of Hmu 
from Australia, Rheas from South 
America, Darwin’s Rhea from Patago- 
nia, Cassowary from New Guinea, and 
eggs of the One-Wattled Cassowary— 
the only eggs of this specimen in 
North American collections. 
There are Albatross eggs, Penguins’,
