Large Set of Eggs of the Carolina 
Rail. 
Mr. E. G. Tabor, of Meridian, \ . V., reports 
having found a nest of the Carolina Rail 
(known also as the Sora Rail —Porzana Car- 
olina :) containing seventeen eggs, and wishes 
to know if that is not a most unusual number. 
In some of them incubation was far advanced, 
while others were only slightly incubated.
