Gymnogyps californianus June 26, 1946 Shandon, Calif. In a letter, June 23(±), 1921, Grinnell asks Darnelly for corner information, having seen some letter from him men- tioning corvors at Smithsonian Institute. In the other, Grin- nell thanks Darnelly for writing him (at M.V.Z.) a full letter about the subject. Darnelly had a ranch near Buck- horn Ranch at that time. Perhaps M.V.Z. still has the Darnelly Letter. I am also had some recorded information he had pried from Fred Truesdale regarding the McChesney nests. corvornests. Info on 5 eggs was as follows: #1 - taken in 1907-8 or -9, by Claude & Dean Brown, in broken rods around to W. of Dawson nest; it went to Thayer & is now at MCZ, Harvard Univ. #2 was taken by Claude Brown. It went to Price, then Tuft (at Wolfville, Nova Scotia). #3 was taken in 1913 by Dean Brown & Fred Trues- (dale); it went to More of Vernon, Texas. #4 was infertile, taken in 1917 by Fred Truesdale.
