Mass. Evidence, the remains of a Crow, 
uer had been committed by a Great Horned Owl. One fact es- 
pecially interested and to some decree puzzled me: viz. that 
the pellet, which lay within less than a yard of the remains, 
was composed entirely of the feathers and bones of a Crow. It 
seems hardly possible that the pellet could have been formed 
and ejected within less than two or three hours after the Owl 
had finished his meal but he may have passed the interim sit- 
ting on the ground by the remains of his victim or he may have 
returned for a second feast; or still again the feathers and 
bones composing the pellet may have belonged to another Crow. 
The bird which I found was probably caught while roosting in 
the pine under which it lay but I could discover no real evi- 
dence that such had been the case.
