108 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE, MUSEUM. 
casting the first frosted leaves to the ground, a whistle, weaker 
than the spring cry, is heard, repeated at intervals during the 
day, from one part of the forest to another, bearing considerable 
resemblance to the note of the purple finch, Carpodacus pur- 
pureus, uttered as it is flying. These voices are heard during the 
same season, that of the Hyla being distinguishable as slightly 
coarser, or more like a squeak. Both are associated with the 
weak chirp of the Dendroica coronta as it gleans its insect food 
on its southern flight. These are the latest sounds of autumn, 
and soon disappear before the steady advance of the ice king.”
