Resident sandhill cranes of Cuba and Florida nest much, earlier 

 than the migrants from farther north. In Cuba eggs are most com- 

 mon in March, but some are laid earlier, for specimens in the 

 U. S. National Museum were taken at Lantana, Fla., February 6-23, 

 1894, and at Manatee, Fla., March 2, 1873. The earliest eggs at 

 Jackson, Mich., were collected May 8, 1901, and May 5, 1902 (Arnold) ; 

 Summerfield Township, Monroe County, Mich., May 2, 1880 (Arnold) ; 

 Dubuque, Iowa, May 11, 1865 (specimens in U. S. National Museum) ;

 May 30, 1883 (Kumlien and Hollister); Minnewaukan, N. Dak.,
