en than others than the other species I indeed quite so much as as any of the Dendrocidae, I two of the there were in the act of eating a large greenish caterpillar, when shot. They were all killed on a low second growth of birch & maple; I should judge their habits in this respect may be analogous to that of Y. noribaccus; I obtained 25 specimens in exchange for the Green gros- bet yesterday. When dissected they proved to be all or an others as I thought adult. One of the My. Cani was an adult & in full pl. a most beautiful bird; he was in full song. Birds of all kinds came very numerous to day. He struck our flock of warblers which must have contained over 100 individuals. I find that a few Hirundis harronum are still left, all the other species how I think left. We found two broods of 4 young & I killed my first three birds in good flight, afterwards missing thru rather hard shots. In P.M., B. went down to the marsh & shot Two Gambetta finch, a song sparrow.
