On the 12th of June, found a nest of s harp- 
t ailed Sparrow on salt meadow. Nest contained 
one egg. There were three others outside of 
the nest and near it. Visited the nest again on 
the 14th, and found five eggs outside and none 
in the nest. Two of the eggs were three feet 
or more away from the nest on top of the fine 
grass that was bent down. Took the eggs, but 
left the nest. Visited the nest for the third time 
on the loth, and found top of the nest tom out 
and several feet away. Went to the nesting 
site four days after and found that the nest had 
disappeared with the exception of a few blades 
of seaweed. Did not see any birds about, the 
last time.
