Crow, Corvus americanus. We found this 
species fairly common for so limited an area, 
and not so confined to secluded districts as the 
preceding. Like their congeners of Massachu- 
setts they seemed to prefer sharing this life’s 
goods with the farmer from whom they do not 
hesitate to purloin. Two nests examined on 
the island ot Nantucket were placed within a 
few yards of each other in low firs, about 
eight to ten feet up. One of these nests showed 
signs of previous visitors from the yolks and 
shells scattered promisucously on the ground 
beneath. In composition they showed no vari- 
ation from those of which I had “barked” forty 
foot oaks earlier in the season.

A One-legged Crow ( Corvus brachyrhynchos).— On May 6 of last year, 
while out in the woods with a friend, he shot a crow out of a tall, slender 
spruce tree. When we picked it up, we were astonished to find one foot 
entirely missing, and it certainly was not a mutilation that had lately 
occurred, for the end of the stump of the tarsus was completely healed 
and well worn, as though it had always been in this condition. About an 
inch of the tarsus was there. It was a male bird, in good plumage and 
condition ; the stomach was filled with food, mostly earth worms. We 
were afterwards told by a person living near by, that he had observed a 
crow the previous summer that had a very queer way of hopping about 
on the fields while feeding. — C. W. G. Eifrig, Ottawa , Out.

Corvus brachyrhynchos. American Crow. — In 1881 Mr. 
Brewster 1 was impressed with the familiarity of the Crow with 
man in these regions, owing to the fact that, as no corn is planted, 
there is no cause for dispute. Along the roads, in farm yards and 
even in remote places at Cape Breton one may walk within a short 
distance of crows. At Grand Narrows I was interested in watching 
a crow on a fence within 20 yards of me pick a chicken bone. He 
held the bone with his foot during the process but flew off with it 
in his bill. It is common for crows to alight on buildings, and I 
once saw four together on the roof of a small outhouse at Ingonish. 
In eastern Massachusetts such familiarity would be very surpris-
