 single season, and thongbt I w(_)nld ex- ; 

 jieriniei^t some myself. There bad been \ 

 a F)lne))ird laying in a tree dose by oiir i 

 house, for st^veral years and I pnt a box j 

 with se\'eral a]«u-tnients right over their j 

 former nest. They soon had a nest 

 bnilt and on March l'4 they began to lay 

 '.ind as I took the eggs as soon as a se 

 was comjilete, they (.'(mtinued to lay 

 nntil they had laid forty eighi eggs. I 

 am certain they were all laid l)y the 

 same l)ird for when I took the first set 

 the female was oji the nest ami I acciil- 

 entally removed a large piirti(,)n of hir till 

 in helivni!: her off, and could alw:ivs l"!! 

 her hy this. Thestis wereh. .i ;) .;t 

 two wet'ks apart, arid the last set' was 

 n<;arly <loul)le the natural size. We 

 should like to hear from collet-tors on 

 this subje<-t to prove to seme people 

 that egg collecting does not reduce the 

 hird pojjulation as much as they try to 

 make us believe.
