EGGS OF REDTAILED HAWK 

 (Buteo Borealis) 



A part of the magnificent series of sets of eggs of this species in 

 the Museum of Applied Oology. 



A small study group arranged to show variable size and relative 

 distribution of markings. The fine, heavily marked set in the upper 

 left hand corner was collected by Jacobs, Easter Sunday, 1887; and 

 are prized very highly, not only for their tale of reminiscences of long 

 ago, but also for their historical status, having represented the Red- 

 tailed Hawk species in thejacobs exhibit of Eggs of Native Pennsyl- 

 vania Birds, at the World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, 1893.
