present spring season of 1900, seen only two specimens of this 
bird, viz.: a male on 19th May, 1898, and a female on 2Ist May, 
1899; but between the 8th and 19th May, 1900, I was fortunate in 
seeing five males of the species and to hear their song; I had also 
a chance to observe their habits during their short stay. (/.
