The case of the Bluebird is given on hearsay, but seems perfectly authen- 

 tic. A trio of these birds occupied two niches in the chimneys of the gas 

 works at the college there, and raised two broods. The male paid equal 

 attention to both females, often passing directly from one nest to the other, 

 and was seen in congress with each of the females in the course of a few 

 minutes. — Elliott CouES, ^a.^/^'w^ifs??, C. / Q

8. Sialia sialis, Hald. Bluebird. — A very abundant winter so- 

 journer and a common summer resident; but not so abundant as in the 

 Northern States, and not so familiar. Commences to breed as early as 

 February 15. I found a nest March 6, which contained newly hatched 

 young. A nest discovered April 29 contained four pure white eggs.
