FOOTNOTES

Dr Francis H. Herrick, author of “The Home Life of Wild Birds.”

A still better plan for lowering a martin house is described on page 127.

These dimensions have been accepted and approved not only by my own bluebird neighbors, but by a bluebird pair reported in Bird Lore for July-August, 1916, as having nested in a cemetery, in an earthen jar that lay upon its side on a grave. The report goes: “The jar measured five inches across the bottom and about seven inches in length.” There it is: five by seven!

Chas. R. Wallace of Delaware, Ohio, in Bird Lore, March-April, 1915, p. 128.
