324 Corvus cryptolens 19.9 X 40.7 ♀
J. Mr. Brown, Bill & [illegible]
A small proportion of the Ravens
here are of this species. They can
usually be distinguished
among a flock by the smaller
size, and [illegible] different
voice, which at times sounds
somewhat like the quacking
of a Duck. This one came
flying over camp this morning
and it received a heavy
load of No 9 shot at short range.
The bill is badly broken and
the skin is punched as full
holes as a cullender. I shun it
only because being doubtful of
getting another. Wokorean laying
