THE OOLOGIST 



Vinton, Iowa. I did not collect this, 

 it was placed in a small wild crab 

 apple tree, up about three feet and 

 contained one infertile egg of the 

 usual type and color. The nest was 

 of the usual material and well made 

 and well placed close in on a shelving 

 of small branches, nicely hidden. 



Nest number four, date Aug. 4th, 

 1919, was in the usual patch of thick 

 willows near here, placed in a -slight 

 crotch of an almost horizontal branch 

 of a willow, about three feet up, scant- 

 ily hidden, but well made of small 

 sticks and willow leaves, moss and 

 catkins and lined with the softer ma- 

 terial. It measures outside 10 by 10, 

 2.5 in. deep. Eggs two in number, 

 deep rich greenish blue, beautifully 

 clouded, but fading after blowing and 

 drying, form, one eliptical, one oval, 

 measures 1.13 x .78; 1.10 x .78. 



Nest number five, evidently a new 

 one, was empty and probably deserted, 

 in upright fork. 



Nest number six was in the same 

 patch of willows, date Aug. 2nd, 1919, 

 was placed in a leaning fork branch, 

 well made of the usual material, deep 

 cuped. It had been partly upset, 

 though well protected, had two broken 

 eggs and one whole one, which proved 

 to be badly incubated and dried, so 

 that the acid had little effect, measures 

 1.15 x .80 in., greenish blue, slight 

 cloud effect, form eliptical. 



The other nests I found were in the 

 •same patch of willows, placed in the 

 usual way and were empty, all were 

 well made, of the usual material.
