About all of the summer- resident birds of the State are found in Pickaway County. Certainly one 
hundred and nine of the one hundred and thirty 'species recognized in the list breed within the four 
hundred square miles named. I have found the nests and eggs, or the young, of one hundred and one 
of these species, as follows, the numbers being taken from list of summer-residents, page 11 : 1, 4, 5,
