Vol. XXXII] Gmeral Notes 371 



health and while secretive was fairly tame and up to the present writing 

 (February 28) he has remained within a hundred yards of the place where 

 I first found him. A pair of Thrashers nested here last summer and, I 

 suppose, it is more than likely this bird was one of the pah. There has 

 been cracked corn scattered near the thicket in which he makes his home 

 and there is a large chunk of suet in a tree near by, but I have not seen him 

 touch either, and have watched him scratching among the dry leaves and 

 feeding on the ground. Several friends have seen and watched the Thrasher 

 with me. The following are the dates on which I have seen him. : January 

 3, 14, 17, 24, 31, February 7, 12, 21, 28.— Charles B. Floyd, Brookline,

Birds Observed in Trinity Churchyard, New York City. — While 

 in New York on October 15, 1914, I attended the noon day peace services 

 at old Trinity Church, after which I took a stroll about the churchyard, and 

 noted the following birds contentedly feeding undisturbed by the noise 

 and bustle of lower Broadway: — 



Junco. — Two Juncos observed in company of a small flock of English 

 Sparrows feeding on the lawn. 



White-throated Sparrow. — One seen scratching among the dead leaves, 

 under some shrubbery. 



Song Sparrow. — One observed feeding on the ground, under the shrub-

Hermit Thrush. — Three seen running about on the ground or perched 

 on top of a tombstone. 



Brown Creeper. — One observed diligently scrambling up an old scarred 

 and weather-beaten tombstone, peering into every crack and crevice for 

 some tender morsel. 



Overshadowed by " sky-scrapers " and flanked by surface and elevated 

 street cars, Trinity Churchyard is about the last place one would expect 

 to find any birds other than English Sparrows. — Jos. E. Gould, Norfolk, 

 Va. 



Type Locality of Lewis's Woodpecker and Clarke's Nutcracker. — 



In looking through the ' Original Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedi- 

 tion ' edited by Dr. R. G. Thwaites (1905), I find several mentions of 

 Lewis's Woodpecker and Clark's Crow on the journey out to the Pacific. 

 Then on the return trip under date of May 27, 1806, when encamped on 

 the northeast side of the Kooskooske River west of the Bitter Root Mts. 

 in Idaho, Lewis writes as follows: " The Black Woodpecker which I have 

 frequently mentioned and which is found in most parts of the Rocky 

 Mountains as well as-the Western and S. W. mountains, I had never 

 an opportunity of examining until a few days since when we killed and 

 preserved several of them." An excellent description follows. 



In the entry of the following day at the same place he writes " Since 

 my arrival here I have killed several birds of the cor v us genus of a kind
