One of Audubon's three largest and finest canvases, an oil painting of "Black Cocks" on a grouse moor, has just been presented to the University Museum by Mr. John Eliot Thayer '85, of Lancaster, Massachusetts. Mr. Thayer has recently given the University Museum his great collection of birds' eggs and nests.
