Through the courtesy of Dr. Taylor the writer is able 
to present data gathered on an expedition of the Kansas 
University Biological Survey to Arkansas in 1926. Egg 
sets found are recorded as June 20, nine eggs; June 25, 
two sets of nine eggs each; July 2, nine eggs; and 
July 13, ten eggs. No newly hatched young had been 
seen as late as July 22.
