In all cases where a species is re- 

 corded in this list, thttt was not 

 reported by Iowa stations in the 

 Bulletin, I have made disfinct 

 mention of this fact, ana such species 

 have been here recorded because of 

 their occurrence both north and south 

 of Iowa or where there was some 

 difiference of opinion in regard to the 

 species as in the case of Leiurus nova 

 boracensis and Geothlypis trichas.

Nesting of^the Broivn Creeper. 



By Curtis H. Wilson. 

 May 30, 1891, 1 visited some islands 

 in the Mississippi Eiver a couple of 

 miles below Davenport, Iowa. On 

 one of these were a number of dead 

 willow stubs. While sitting in the 

 boat waiting for a friend, I saw a 

 pair of Brown Creeepers [certhia fa- 

 miliaria americanas] alight on & large 

 stub about twenty feet above the 

 ground and disappear under a large 

 strip of loose bark. On climbing the 

 tree I found between the bark and 

 tree trunk a nest composed of wool 

 and other soft substances and con- 

 taining three young birds a day or so 

 old. This is the first instance ever 

 reported as far as I am able to ascer- 

 tain, of these birds nesting in Iowa 

 or Illinois. — Oologist.
