Brief Notes. 
I would like to know what is supposed to 
be the earliest breeding date of the Crow in 
New England? I took a set of six on April 17tli 
that had been set on four or five days.

Lath Nesting of the Chow . — On Septem- 
ber 10th, a Crow's nest was found here which 
contained three fresh eggs. Same nest was 
used in the spring, possibly by the same

On May 10 he took his first nest of the 
season, the domicile of that much maligned 
and wily bird the Common Crow, Corpus 
frugivorus, and had to climb some forty 
feet up a spruce tree for it. The structure 
was composed exteriorly of cedar twigs 
and lined with moss. It contained five 
fresh eggs.

Eight Eggs of the Crow in one Nest. 
On May 13, 1888, while collecting in a swamp, 
I flushed a crow from a nest in a small cedar, 
j and on climbing the tree was somewhat sur- 
prised to find eight eggs awaiting me. While 
preparing them for the cabinet, I found them 
to be in various stages of incubation, and the 
shells of some very thin. I look upon this set 
as rather an exception, never having found 
more than six eggs in a nest before. B.
