1 addt. D. castaneus 1 y.y.
Storm shot a young Q P. Arcturus with yellow on the crown; but he saw the
unique can of a young Q bird possessing the admixture
of the addt. & is losing them
I'm the first most as I am convinced this bird would
have done. I obtained this
specimen from him via
W. for my addt & shot last
week. & also ex. A. Bup.
fluenting for a very fine
young Q Sphyx parulus. Jalo
shot a y.y. Reinurus aureicap.
He saw no game excepting
a pair of pigeons flying

one birds. The dusk of
the warblers I have heard

beginning to come). No bird
sings regularly now excepting
Zonotrichia & he is just
bopping into silence. His
two first notes are exactly
those of the Mullican gabbie.

is as yet green & redent
like in the woods but
the autumn is close at hand.
