CHBWINK TOWHEE. 



I obtained both songs in Dublin, N. H.; they came from 

 the vicinity of the same field where many birds were 

 singing, and each was an evident and quick response to 

 the other. As one may well imagine the antiphonal 

 effect was delightfully pleasing. Frequently the Che- 

 wink strikes a perfect octave with two notes of equal 

 value, thus: 



Twice 8va.. 



Boom jy p/7-;7-//-/7-;/-/7 : /7. 



His intervals, as a rule, are eminently satisfactory, and 

 one only regrets that after so fine a start the little fellow 

 does not accomplish something more extensive in the 

 line of melody; but it is rarely the case that his song 

 comprises more than three notes; if it does, the chances 

 are, that he has doubled-up on form. Here is a proof of 

 that point; the record was obtained in the Arnold Ar- 

 boretum, near Boston.
