The Passenger or Wild Pigeon. 



By Samuel L. Boardman. 



The article on the Wild or Passenger Pigeon, by James Carroll 

 Mead, in the Journal of the Maine Ornithological Soci- 

 ety for March, is exceedingly interesting and furnishes a distinct 

 contribution to the fact of their former presence in this state. The 

 article also serves to call attention to the many letters that have 

 appeared in leading newspapers of the country regarding the appear- 

 ance. of the Passenger Pigeon in Western and Southern states, and 

 the causes of their disappearance from the East, which I have not 

 seen mentioned in the Journal. These several articles also show 

 the great interest in the general subject of bird life, manifested by 

 readers of, and contributors to, the great journals of the country.
