PI. I. [LXXV. of the larger work]. "Tetrao cupido " [Tympanuchus 

 americaniis (Reich.)]. Fig. i, (J, after Wilson; Fig. 2, $, original. 

 The habitat is given, '•'■State of New I'ork." Since Wilson's figure was 

 made from a Kentucky specimen, it may be that the female (Fig. 2) was 

 drawn from a Long Island Heath Hen (T. cupido), which would be very 

 interesting, if true. I believe De Kay's rude figure (Birds of New York, 

 PI. 77, fig. 175) is the only picture of a Heath Hen not from Martha's 

 Vineyard, besides the original figure of Catesby.

 " Ortyx neoxenus " [young $ , ov $, of Eupsychortyx cristatus (Linn.), 

 outline seemingly copied from the little wood-cut in Bennett's ' Gardens 

 and Menagerie of the Zoological Society," Vol. II, p. 311, 1831, though 

 the details must have been filled in from a specimen, I should suppose. 

 Ortyx neoxenus Vigors, the types of which were in the gardens of the
