A SCIENTIFIC RECORD 



With this issue THE OOLOGIST makes another "Scoop" 

 as the daily press would call it. The eggs and nest of the 

 Blue Goose (Chen caerulescens) are unknown to science. 

 With this issue we present our readers with the first photos 

 of the nesting of this rare species, Including a description of 

 the eggs and a view of the old birds in the nest. Certainly 

 our readers are to be congratulated on being the first to re- 

 ceive this scientific information. — R. M. Barnes.
