Three habitat groups of African birds in Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, include village weaver-birds, birds of Mount Cam­ eroon and Kalahari desert birds. Weavers, which constitute the largest and most varied bird family of Africa, rank among the best arch­ itects of the feathered world, and the village weaver-birds are among the most skillful nest builders of their family. Their globe-shaped nests are woven from strips of grass or palm leaves. “ Woven” is not a loosely used term, but an accurate description of the method employed by the birds. Detailed studies of the nests of another weaver species have re­ vealed that certain definite knots are used to tie the ends of the strips of material—they are not merely tucked in. A firmly woven vertical ring about six inches in diameter is first made by the birds to serve a foundation. The hemi­ spherical chamber for the eggs and young is then added on one side, and the down-turned spout or en­ trance is added on the other. The village weaver-bfrds exempli­ fy a highly gregarious mode of liv­ ing coupled with a peculiar pref­ erence for association with condi­ tions imposed by the existence of socially organized human life. Rath­ er than remain exposed to purely natural conditions involving greater dangers from predatory animals, they build their colonies or “ vil­ lages” of as many as a hundred nests in trees near the villages of human natives. This habit accounts for the name that has been applied to them. These birds occur over a wide area of western and central Africa.

The blaze of unde­ termined origin started near the office in the south end of the building and was well under way before discovered. After a half hour it appeared that the flames were under control and it was believed then that half of the building could be saved. Then the fire broke out anew and developed to such propor­ tions that by 10:30 o ’clock firemen were forced to fight the conflagration from considerable distance because of the intense heat. The AGA cannery to the south, the Cascade Pontiac shop and sales­ rooms on the east, the Cavenah Lumber Co yards on the south and the Arden Farms Creamery on the west were thought to be in consid­ erable danger. Fire trucks and crews from White Salmon and Bingen re­ inforced the local orew, and as the warehouse flames shot skyward, firemen fought to save the adjoining buildings. However, the fire spent itself and with the roof burned, the flames were boxed in the cement walls which remained standing. There was no wind and spectators spoke praise for the work of the firemen in saving nearby structures. The warehouse, used as a receiv­ ing, washing and packing station, was valued at $50,000, while washers and packing equipment were esti­ mated to be worth a similar sum. Stored in the warehouse were large quantities of lugs, box shook, and between 200 and 300 barrels of brined cherries. Total loss was estimated by W. Q. Bateman, manager of the association, at $250,000. Insurance covers the loss. Constructed in 1926, the warehouse was a wood structure with concrete walls, 200 feet by 200 feet, two stories high at the south end, and four stories high at the north. The covered overhead run-way connect­ ing the building with the cannery re­ mained intact. Fire hoses played on all sides of the building but seemed to have little effect on the flames which be­ came intense as the big timbers, the walls, the flooring and the wooden contents of the building were con­ sumed. Electric power was cut off as a safety measure and Hood River was in darkness for an hour and a half.
