.--On February 19, 1933, I flushed three Long-cared Owls (Asio wilsonianus) from an evergreen in an old cemetery four miles northeast of Saline, Michigan. From beneath this tree I gathered up just 200 pellets, indicating that the birds had been roosting in this tree during much of the winter. The cemetery was a half mile from the nearest parcel of timber, a swampy piece of woods of some extent. hnmediately adjacent to the cemetery on the east and south was plowed land; across the road to the west and north was pasture. I made the analysis of the pellets in the laboratories of the Museum of Zoology, at Ann Arbor, where I had the advice and assistance of Dr. Lee R. Dice and Dr. Josselyn Van Tyne. The results of the work were as follows: 170 Microtus, 21 Pcromyscus, 3 Synaptomys, 4 Blarina and 1 English Sparrow (Passer domesticas). The preponderance of Microtus would indicate feeding in the open, although occasional forays into the nearby timber would yield Peromyscus in some numbers. Synaptomys is rare anywhere in Michigan, and while Blarina is not rare, the fact that it lives in burrows would explain its comparative absence from the bill of fare. Could a like number of pellets be obtained from this immediate vicinity in successive years, their exami- nation should give indication of any fluctuation in small mammalian biota from year to year.--C}^s.
