THE OOLOQIST 



Set No. 1911, Coll. Mar. 30, 1898, 

 three eggs, 2.22 x 1.82, 2.13 x 1.81 and 

 2.07 x 1.82 in. 



Set No. 1295, coll. Apr. 4, 1894, two 

 eggs, 2.28 x 1.73 and 2.12 x 1.59 in. 



Set No. 507, coll. May 5, 1891, two 

 eggs, 2.38 x 1.79 and 2.12 x 1.62 in. 



All the above sets were collected 

 by the writer, with the exception of 

 the last described (507), which was 

 taken near Clifton Springs, N. Y., by 

 Mr. E. B. Peck. 



Among my abnormal sets, I have 

 one which is worthy of note, inasmuch 

 as it appears to be three sided, or of 

 very irregular contour in lesser cir- 

 cumference. In long diameter, it is 

 2.36 in. while the short diameter ex- 

 hibits measurements ranging from 1.88 

 to 1.97 in., and when viewed endwise, 

 very plainly shows three flat sides. 

 This egg was collected by Ray Dens- 

 more, near Painesville, O. 



In these descriptions I have omitted 

 mention of coloration and shape (ex- 

 cept in the last), as the inten of this 

 article is chiefly to show unusually 

 large or small eggs of this species. 

 Nothing' can be said of the coloration, 

 except that they carry a variety of 

 range from unmarked to highly col- 

 ored, which is usually seen in a ser- 

 ies of specimens of this species. 



The shape of the extremely long 

 eggs are, of course, far out of propor- 

 tion for specimens of Red-tails eggs, 

 and those of set No. 1911 are very 

 globular in shape.
