144. Cyanocitla cristata (Linn.). Blue Jay. 



145. Perisoreus Canadensis (Linn.). Canada Jay. 



I have a specimen of this species, killed by one of my bro- 

 thers on N. Y. Island near Manhattanville ; he noticed an 

 assemblage of small birds which seemed much excited and 

 making cries of alarm ; on going to ascertain the cause, the Jay 

 took flight, pursued by the screaming multitude. This was in 

 midsummer, a very unusual season for this species to be seen 

 so far south. 



146. Corvus carnivorus, Bartram. American Raven. 

 The Raven is rare in this vicinity, although quite common 



on the New Jersey coast. I was informed by Mr. Akhurst 

 that a fine specimen, one of a pair shot on Long Island, and 

 which passed through his hands, is now in the museum of the 

 L. I. Historical Society. 



147. Corvus Americanus, Aud. Common Crow. 



148. " ossifragus, Wilson. Fish Crow.
