Brief Notes. 
July 4 , while roaming over the country, I 
came across an old building which had been 
used as a carpenter shop. Of course I had 
to investigate. Up stairs on a projecting 
board next to the ceiling, I found a Pewee’s 
nest with five eggs, ^

That “ prolific sparrow ” of one of your 
correspondents reminded me of a Phoebe 
that I thought was quite prolific ; still do 
not know as it was unusual. May 14th, 
1881, I took a set of five. May 21st, (just 
one week) seeing the bird on the nest, I 
visited it and secured a second set of five. 
May 28th, (just one week later) still seeing 
the birds around and on the nest again, 
visited it and found a set of four. I had 
not the heart to again rob her.
