CONGRATULATIONS 



In this issue of THE OOLOGIST, we present to the bird loving fraternity, 

 the first record of the nesting of the Dusky Seaside Sparrow (Passerherbulus 

 nigrescens) as the result of the labor and kindness of Oscar E. Baynard of 

 Florida. Baynard is to be congratulated upon being the first to discover and 

 record the nidification of this rare bird. THE OOLOGIST is to be congratulated 

 upon being the medium through which this very interesting scientific informa- 

 tion is first communicated to the world, and the readers of THE OOLOGIST 

 are to be congratulated on being the first to receive this information. We are 

 all under more obligations to Baynard not only in this instance, but for m^ny 

 other things than we realize. — Editor.
