150 The Passenger Pigeon 



female bird In this city that was killed in Livingston 

 County in October, 1892." 



In a bulletin of the Michigan Ornithological Club, 

 Vol. II, No. 3-4, July to December, 1898, Mr. A. B. 

 Covert, the club's president, tells of seeing a flock, of 

 about two hundred pigeons. On Oct. i, 1898, in Wash- 

 tenaw County, Mich., he watched a large number of 

 them all day. 



Mr. Stewart E. White writes from Ann Arbor under 

 date of Feb. 9, 1894: 'My noteboolcs are not here so 

 I cannot give exact dates, but I can remember distinctly 

 every specimen I ever saw. I observed one flock of 

 about sixty in Kent County in the fall, the last of Octo- 

 ber or first of November, 1890. At Mackinac Island at 

 various times in September of 1889 I saw parts of a 

 large flock, of say two hundred. My field experience 

 in the western part of Michigan has been quite extensive 

 and thorough, but these two flocks are all I ever re- 

 corded," 



F. M, Falconer of Hillsdale, Mich., on Dec. 3,1904, 

 writes to Mr. Warren as follows: "During the last 

 week of March, 1892, one of the students here shot a 

 nice male. There were two together, but only one was 

 secured. That summer I saw a small flock feeding in 

 some thick woods along the banks of a stream in which 

 I was fishing, in Chautauqua County, N. Y. There 

 were eight or ten birds at least, and perhaps many more, 

 as they scattered along in spots."
