The orchard oriole and the painted bunting were the most numerous and were the only ones seen feed- ing among the cotton plants. Of the stomachs examined from this locality only about 5 percent contained boll weevil remains. Four of the 18 orchard orioles examined had eaten a total of 6 boll weevils, and 2 of the 20 painted buntings examined had eaten 1 weevil each. Cameron, July 24-26. — Cotton was in the same flourishing condition here as at Cuero and Gurley. Weevils were by this time quite n...umerous. Twenty-five hills of tall cotton in a bottom-land field were searched and 9 adult weevils ' found, most of them crawling on the upper part of the stalks. Over 50 percent of the squares in this field were infested. Birds were rather scarce, the only species which were at all numer- ous in the cotton fields being the orchard oriole, lark sparrow, scissor- tailed flycatcher, and quail. Of the 9 orchard orioles taken, 4 had eaten a total of 7 weevils. One painted bunting and 1 least flycatcher were taken, each of which had eaten a boll weevil.
