Extract

During the year 1955 Dr. D. M. Scott and Mr. R. E. Lemon conducted a study of the nesting habits of the cardinal, Richmondena cardinalis (L.), on the campus of the University of Western Ontario and in areas adjacent to the campus in London, Ontario. After the study of the breeding cycle at each nest was completed, some of the nests mere removed from their sites and put in brown paper bags and given to the writer for examination for their content of insects and other invertebrates. Each nest was torn apart over a white porcelain tray and the creatures falling on the tray were collected and preserved. The specimens so collected were distributed to the following taxonomists for identification (USNM refers to the United States National Museum): P. D. Ashlock, USNM (Miridae), E. W. Baker, USNM (Acarina), W. J. Brown, Canada Department of Agriculture, Ottawa (Coleoptera), N. B. Causey, Fayetteville, Arkansas (Diplopoda), K. Christiansen, Grinnell College, Iowa (Collembola), C. D. Dondale, Canada Department of Agriculture, Kentville, N.S. (Araneida, Phalangida), E. L. Mockford, USNM (Corrodentia), K. O'Neill, USNM (Thysanoptera), M. R. Smith, USNM (Formicidae), R. W. Strandtmann, Texas Technological College, Lubbock, Texas (Orinthonyssus), W. W. Wirth, USNM (Culicoides).
