Southwest Pass Mud Lumps.—Just to the east of the new jetties and abouta mile from the lower end, I found about 200 Brown Pelicans nesting on three ofthe four lumps in that locality.

The situation of these lumps, within easy reach of the Southwest Pass light-house and the United States engineers offices, renders them an ideal location 238 Bird-Lore for a government reservation.
