Brief notes on distribution and habits of the two birds, fol- 
lowed by statements of their food as indicated by the exami- 
nations of a large number of stomachs. Almost three 
fourths of the food of the meadow lark was found to consist 
of insects, and of these a very large per cent, were grasshop- 
pers and crickets. The accusation of pulling sprouting 
grain and feeding upon grain generally appears not without 
basis, but the damage done in this manner is more than 
counterbalanced by the numbers of insects eaten. The food 
of the oriole was found to consist almost exclusively of in- 
sects, and these to a large extent of noxious species. No 
question can he raised as to the value of this bird as an insect 
destroyer.
