Syrrrium nebulousum. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1894. On the river bank a few rods below the Outlet we found Oct. 2. where something had caught a Barred Owl. There were a good many of its feathers, chiefly from the back and sides, scatter- ed about on the mud and a huge stump some twenty yards away was literally plastered all over with them while the ground beneath was also thickly strewn. Beneath the stump I found all the wing and tail feathers but nowhere could I detect any bones, claws or fragments of the flesh of the poor bird. It had evidently been seized on the ground (or perhaps while fly- ing over it) and taken to the stump where it had been devoured Much of the ground between the stump and the babk was soft mud which bore no tracks save those of Snipe and Musk rats. From t this both Will and I concluded that the murderer must have been a bird and, doubtless a Great Horned Owl.
