Mr. Turner Green, taxidermist, Jersey City, N. J., under date 
of April 3, 1902, informs me that a Snowy Owl was shot at Caven 
Point, N. Y., on January 1, 1902, after a severe storm. The 
stomach contained a short-tailed mouse. He also states that 
another specimen was seen about the same date at Bayonne, N. J.

Mr. W. H. Kress of Elk Rapids, Michigan, writes under date of 
April 11, 1902, that he had received and mounted during the 
winter, twenty-eight specimens of the Snowy Owl, and enclosed a 
most artistic picture of fourteen of these striking birds. He 
states that they first appeared late in November, 1901, and that 
they had almost completely destroyed the quail and partridges in 
that section ; the quail having been quite abundant before the inroad 
of the owls. One specimen, seen flying close to the ground, sud- 
denly stooped and captured a rabbit. Mr. Kress informs me 
that at least fifty specimens were killed in the vicinity of Elk 
Rapids. Auk, XIX. July, 1902 , pjJ. .
