cotton excepting a small place for the eggs. Four eggs of a set taken 
April io measure .6oX. 47 ; .54X.44; .57X.45; .55X.46.* 
8. Thryothorus ludovicianus. Carolina Wren. — Nests in hollow 
trees, holes in banks, or in outbuildings. A set of five eggs taken 
April 12.

12. Helminthophila bachmani. Bachman’s Warbler. — Nests 
in low trees; eggs four. One of a set of four taken April 30 measures 
.74X.60. It is unlike any other egg that I am acquainted with. The 
ground-color is dull white; around the large end is a wreath of dark 
brown covering nearly one-third of the egg; while a few obscure spots 
of lilac are scattered over the rest of its surface. It has no resemblance 
to any Warbler’s egg, and especially none to any of this genus.

constructed with great care in pensile moss ; eggs five. Those of a set 
taken April 24 measure respectively .75 X .51; .70 X .52; .73 X .53; 
.76X.53; -73 X .52. Their ground color is gray, over which are fine 
dots of light brown, and a few spots and blotches of dark brown and pur- 
ple near the larger end.

horizontal branch of a pine tree, near the top ; eggs four. A set taken
