240 250. Brown Finch A267474, banded on Bamfou 2/28'31. Empipped on window ledge of Life Science Bldg. 2/7 '33, by Seth B. Benson. Band badly worn and replaced by Benson with A287031. This bird referred to by Ritter and Benson at meeting of Boston Ornithological Club on Oct. 27 '31. See Condor, Vol. XXV. Jan.-Fely, 1933, Page 48. Breden-crown Sparrow A/80147-B/61268 and Sharsher A411677. These birds were found dead in traps 3/3 '33, after traps had been closed for four days. Traps were upside down, or otherwise arranged, so that I had believed that no birds could be caught in them. Nuttall Sparrow. B101379. Caught in government sparrow traps with several other birds. Exposed to heavy rain for not more than half an hour (3/14 '33 about 4:30 p.m.) The other birds were also chilled but recovered. This bird died in spite of my drying and warming it. Only lived about half an hour. Fox Sparrow B161318 (See P. 249) Repeated 3/19 '33. apparently in perfect health. See P. 252. Nicrosia Jay 588913. (See P. 249) Repeated 3/21 9 a.m. in same trap in which it was caught 3/14 at B. The bell was broken (Leigh bell variety) to that only shell remained. I removed what was left and liquefied the bird (See P.252.)
