to the left of the road. At same place, for first time, we got the song of the wren-tit. From the porch of the first univ. cottage, we saw a russet back eating thimble berries. A song sparrow was heard here.- Above Hog Serum Lab.- a quail's nest containing one egg was found. The nest was little more than a shallow hole in the ground. The egg was white with a few light brown splatched. Above the upper univ. barns, in a patch of thistles, a lazuli bun- ting was seen and heard in perched upon the top of a thistle-stalk. A shrike was seen, at a distance on a fence. Identified by its characteristic bill and coloration. In same place, about 1/2 dozen linnets were seen on the topmost board of the fence. Iden- tified by the reddish coloration of head, throat and breast. - A song sparrow was observed perched in the top of a buckeye tree.
