Expressly stated that the bird was only seen, the Specimen has been secured; this of course not applying to such birds as are easily identified on the wing. In compiling the number of a set of eggs, the majority of notes are my own; these include all nests with a completed complement of eggs, whether collected or not, and also such nests as held young birds from which none had own. In some of our commoner Species the number is quite large, and shows the variation in a set much better than the usual four or five, sometimes three or six. I have omitted mention of second nestings 3 a good many of our birds nest twice and some three times; but except in one or two cases I could not identify the same pair of birds, and as nests in all stages, from started to build to birds ready to y, can be found any day in the height of the season for most of our commoner Species, I only give extreme nesting dates, preferring such as record eggs where possible. A list of the works and publications to which I have made reference is appended. The nomenclature followed, as also the number given, is that of the American Ornithologists Union.
