Brief Notes. ' 
Reading I. C. Green’s article in March 
“O. & O.” on the breeding of the Duck 
Hawk on Mt. Tom, I would say that in 
October, 1892, a farmer brought to me a 
young Duck Hawk that was shot near Mt. 
Tom range. I mounted it and now have it 
in my collection. It is a fine specimen.

Falco peregrinus anatum. About forty years ago much interest was 
manifested among ornithologists and others by the fact being made known 
that the Duck Hawk breeds regularly among the nearly inaccessible clefts 
that are to be found in the vicinity of the peaks of Mounts Tom and 
Holyoke that arise from the trap rock range that crosses a portion of the 
Connecticut Valley some fifteen miles north of Springfield, and from that 
time to this, nests have been seen there almost every year. In 1905 
nearly fledged young were found there the last of May , and this year near 
the same place another nest was discovered containing four eggs. In 
recent years this portion of the mountain range has been made accessible 
by reason of the construction of lines of electric railroads, and hundreds 
visit the region of the Duck Hawk’s breeding place where one person did 
in the sixties, but notwithstanding this, they still continue to select this 
locality for their summer home.— Robert O. Morris, Springfield, Mass.
