ORNITHOLOGIST 



[Vol. 9-No. 10 



This list would be greatly increased if I 

 included observations along the coast, of 

 which this county has considerable, but 

 these notes have been confined to inland 

 districts. Thus ends my record for the 

 season of '84, but even at this early date 

 I draw comfort from the thought that in 

 about seven months, tramps for Owl's 

 nests will again be in order. Only a few 

 days a§p I spent, together with a friend, 

 a very happy hour sharpening the spurs of 

 our climbers with a file, and making them 

 ready for '85.— F. II. C.
