. The Oölogist for the student of birds, their nests and eggs . thesecond set of three eggs in twenty-seven years. Last year this pairhatched three young; I located thenest on March 12th and young werebut a few days old. The nest contain-ed the hind half of six full grownweed rats laid all in a row with tailshanging toward the bottom of thenest. No parent bird was seen, butheard one low hoot as I was inspect-ing the nest. The nest this year was 80 THE OOLOGIST ^S^^O^ <?tVv about two hundred yards from that of1910. The eggs are the largest m myseries of twelve sets, all except two, of which I have taken in this vicinity.On March 25th, 1911, took my ear-liest record of the Barred Owl. Thisset contained three eggs, two slightlyincubated, one fresh; and was placedin the hollow end of a branch of anelm tree, forty-five feet up. Eggs un-usually clean. My series of this spe-cie numbers twelve sets, all taken bymyself and these two Owls are becom-ing quite rare in this vicinity as prac-tically all the heavy timber is gone.Henry M.

When in the field during the breed-ing season, it has always been difF...;;; to get a collecting box that would beboth light, convenient to carry, andample enough to provide space for agood days work. Last season I hit upon an idea, theworking out of which was very suc-cessful. The accompanying diagramswill show at a glance the whole con-trivance. It consists simply of 3, 4, or 5 boxes, fitting one within the other{Fig. 1) and a couple of straps to holdthem together. Fig. 2 shows the box closed, andthe boxes may be filled one at a timeuntil all are filled (Fig. 3). Bothlarge and small eggs can be packedat a saving of space and number ofboxes, with no danger of breakage.D. I. Shepardson. fi 0o o ) 0 o I ooo 1 v^v .0. 96. Sl2Lc i/xivj-.o-u boxes fwM.
