213. HYLOCICHLA USTULATA SWAINSONI (Tschudi). 
OLIVE-BACKED THRUSH. 
“Was observed from the twentieth of September till 
the first week in October. This species with the two pre- 
ceding fed mostly upon the berries of the Black Gum 
(Nyssa multiflora) ; and could be seen at all times of 
the day flying to and from these trees. The specimens 
obtained were so fat that it was with difficulty that a 
good skin could be made from them. How these birds 
could migrate for a thousand miles perhaps, and cross 
the sea, as some of them do, carrying so much dead 
weight, is difficult to imagine. And yet they do fly 
without trouble. It may be that this extra adipose ma- 
terial is a supply stored up for their journey, without 
which they might not accomplish it.” (1891c).
