"In a small collection of birds' skins, nests and eggs recently acquired by the Museum of Comparative Zoology, collected at the Prlbilof Islands, Alaska, is the nest and two eggs of the Alaskan Wren (Troglo- dytes porviihiB var. alas(;v)isis), which are believed to be the first ever seen by Naturalists. The nest Is quite large and very compactly built, being composed externally of fine moss of a bright green color, inter- woven with fine roots, and lined heavily with hair and feathers. Conspicuous among the latter are the rosy- tipped feathers of the Leucosticte grtseiuucha. The hairs are rather coarse and white, three to four inches in length, and appear to be hairs of the Polar bear. The nest was obtained in June, 1876, on St. Georgo Island, by Axr. W. J. Mclntyre, to whom It was brought 723. Alaskan Wren (From Turner.) by a native. It Is said to have been placed deep down in the crevices of large rocks, And to have originally contained twelve eggs, all but two of which were broken be- fore they came into Mr. Mclntyre's possession. These measure, respectively, .68 by .51 and .60 by .50. Their general color is dull white, with a very few minute dots of reddish, so few and small as to be easily ;—J. A. Allen, Bull. Nutt. Orn.
