  Xote. 
  — 
  The 
  fact 
  that 
  clutches 
  A. 
  and 
  E. 
  were 
  taken 
  in 
  June 
  inclines 
  

   us 
  to 
  the 
  belief 
  that 
  they 
  are 
  second 
  or 
  even 
  third 
  layings 
  ; 
  if 
  this 
  be 
  

   true, 
  the 
  disparity 
  in 
  their 
  weights 
  is 
  particularly 
  interesting.
