sono; 1 have seen. I have represented it thus : tu wee tit wee te 

 cheu, the accent being on the second and fourtli syllables which 

 seem about a third higher than the short, staccato first and 

 third syllabies, the fifth being still higher and short, while last 

 is a rapidly falling inflection. The song was a clear whist- 

 ling, unmistakable song. The bird sang at intervals of about 

 tlfteen Seconds during our study of it.

Passenger pigeon, Ectopistes migratorius. — A small tlock 

 of eight or ten Wild Pigeons were seen flying over Beaufort 

 river on the mt)rning of March i8th at ten minutes before 7 

 o'clock. The birds were about fifty feet up and flying a straight 

 course to the Southeast when 1 saw them. Two other persons, 

 both of them " old stagers," also observed them, and separately 

 mentioned it to me before 1 had a chance to tell them.

POTTAWATTOMIE NAMES FOR THE AMERICAN CROW, CorvUS 

 americaniis. — 1 have a valued letter from the late Chief Simon 

 Pokagon, from which 1 extract the following: Our people in Mich"

 an-ne-ne-g me-cJie-maw-kaw-te-Pe-nav-shen (The white man's 

 big pluck bird)." So much for the Crow's dislike of unbroken 

 wilderness, and its boldness in attacking larger andsavager birds.

Song of the Kentucky Warbler Geothlypis formosa, a 



correction. — On page 47 of BULLETIN No. 30, WARBLER 

 Songs, an unfortunate transposition has occured in the de- 

 scription of the migrant and breeding types of song of this 

 locality. I have heard the song of the supposed migrants from 

 the first arrivals only, on semi-occasional early morning visits 

 to their haunts, and it was soon displaced by the regular breed- 

 ing song of later arrivals. The first and rarer song should be : 

 Too-dle too-dle too-dle too-dle, exactly as described in Chapman's 

 Handbook. The breeding song for this locality is : peer-ry peer-ry 

 pee r-ry, often chee chee cheepeer-ny peer-ny peer-ny, delivered in 

 a clear whistle as described by Professor Jones. 1 have found
