240 244. Dwail A409982-A409983 While kept in the box in the N.B.S.A. Office in M.V.9., those two quail bent their heads bodily against the wire on the box. In fact the female A 409983 had a large part of her skull laid completely bare. It is defeated in some traps, 4/28, close to point where they were released, and except for their battered heads, they seemed to be perfectly healthy. Forbush Sparrow b 4/1902. Banded at B, 4/28 32. Thin in the latest date on which one of these sparrows has been recorded in this part of the State. Song Sparrows b 4/1903-4-5. were caught at one time in a government sparrow trap.
