Dr. H. F. Merriam reported finding a pair of Great Horned 

 Owls {Buho virginianus) nesting near Goshen, N. Y., on March 1. 

 He presumed these birds to be the same pair as that seen by 

 him last year at the same place. The nest contained two 

 fresh eggs. 



Mr. Philipp reported two pairs of Great Horned Owls seen 

 near Buzzard's Bay, Mass., on March 8. He located a nest 

 which was evidently a fresh one, but no eggs were found.
