Exceptional Eggs of the Bald Eagle ( Haliwetus leucocephalus ). — On 
April 7, 1891, I took a set of two eggs from a Bald Eagle’s nest in a tall 
dead pine (since fallen) in Lincoln Co., Maine. On April 16, 1892, I took 
a set of three eggs from the same nest. Incubation had begun in the set 
of two and was about one third completed in the set of three. Is it possi- 
ble that there was any connection between the loss of the birds’ eggs in 
1891 and their laying three in 1892? The nest was lined with green pine 
boughs. When I found the nest I went very close to the tree without 
seeing any bird, and it was not until I fired my gun over the nest that the 
female flew off. I did not see her again until I was half way up the tree, 
when both birds appeared on the scene, though at no time did they come 
very near me. 
The eggs of the first set measure: — 3.20 X 2.27 and 3.04 X 2.21 in. 
Second set: — 3.02 X 2.31, 3.03 X 2.20, 2.95 X 2.19. Average for the 
five eggs: 
3.05 X 2.24. — B. G. Willard, Millis, Mass.
