r Califor-nia friends maintain their splendid or-ganizaticn. V\hile in California we had the plea-sure of meeting A. M. Ingersoll, a wellknown bird student of San Diego, whowith his wife was stopping at one ofthe leading Lcs Angeles hotels for thewinter. Mr. Ingerscll is the secondperson with whom the editor of thispublication ever arranged an exchangecf eggs. That was in the long, longago. Until this meeting in California,we had never seen Mr. Ingersoll,though had kept up a correspondenceacquaintance with him for many years.It is a pleasure now to know that heis not only one of the leading oolo-gists cf the coast, and that he has per-haps the most complete collection ofNorth American eggs existing on thecoast, but also that he has by strictattention to business and legitimatemeans, accumulated a competence. Hehas now retired to enjoy the fruitsof his industry and declining years.No doubt he will spend a large portionof his time in his favorite pursuit, thestudy of birds. THE OOLOGIST

THE OOLOGIST TRAPPING A GOLDEN EAGLE. A few years ago I spent the fallmonths in Kansas on an uncles ranch.The country was rough rolling prairie.Nearby was a large creek and alongthis stream was considerable timber.Squirrels (gray and fox) were abun-dant. Quail very plentiful. Rabbits(both common and jack) were plenty.On the creek several varieties of duckswere found. I was out about everyday and game dinners were of regularoccurrence. Immense flocks of larks,longspurs and blackbirds were about,but about all the summer residentsand small land migrants had gone.Raptores were abundant and I shotquite a number. Along early in November the GoldenEagles appeared. Some days four orfive were about. Of course I wantedone but they didnt stay about the tim-ber much, but kept to the prairiewhere it was impossible to stalkthem. . Near the house was quite a hillabout which eagles as well as otherraptores circled. At one place nearthe base of this hill a gully startedand eventually found its way tooist27albi
