24. Snow Bunting. Plectrophanes m'vah's. Wa'-bu-nong-o'-zi, 

 morning star bird ; application not obvious. 



25. Song Sparrow. Melosfiza fasciata. Kos-kos-ko-ni'-chi, malting 

 a scraping or whispering noise. This name is also indiscriminately ap- 

 plied to an}- small dull-colored bird, which is seen in the grass or on low 

 shrubs. Probably thirty or more species would be included under this 

 name. 



26. Black Snowbird, ytinco hyemalis. Bu-te'-shi-wish. Name. 



27. TowHEE Bunting. Pipilo erythrofJithalmHs. Muk-ud-e'-ai-a'-nuk, 

 black Thrush. 



28. Rose-breasted Grosbeak. They must have a name for it, but 

 I failed to find it. 



29. Bobolink. Dolichoiiyx oryzivorus. Shi-ka'-go-bi-ne'-shi. Chicago 

 bird, that is, skunk bird, from the white stripe down the middle of the 

 back. 



30. Cowbird. Molotlirua ater. A-ga'-jid-as-sig'-gi-nak, small Black- 

 bird. 



31. Yellow-headed Blackbird. Xanthocephalus icterocephalus. 

 Bwan-ence'-as-sig'-gi-nak, little Sioux blackbird; because its home is in 

 the west, in the land of the Sioux. 



32. Red-winged Blackbird. Ag-elcBus pliostttcens. Me'-mis-ko-di'-ni- 

 mang-a-ne'-shi, the red-shouldered bird. 



33. Blackbird, in genei-al. As-sig'-gi-nak, living in flocks. 



34. Meadow Lark. Very scarce in the land of the Chippewas, and I 

 could find no one who had ever heard a name for it. 



35. Baltimore Oriole. Icterus galbula. Wa-do'-pi-bi-ne'-shi, pop- 

 lar or willow bird; from its nesting so frequently on the boughs of these 

 trees. 



36. Purple Grackle. ^uiscahis pjirpureus. Chi-as-sig-gi-nak, big 

 Blackbird. 



37. American Raven. Corviis corax camivorus. Ka-gog-i'. Name. 



38. Crow. Corvus fmgivorus. An-deg'. Two meanings are given, 

 (i) "renewal," referring to the spring, and (2) "those that come," mean- 

 ing those that migrate, in contradistinction to the Raven, which is resi- 

 dent. Whichever meaning is the true one, it remains a fact that the Chip- 

 pewas look upon the coming of the Crow as the sign of spring, and say : 

 "We will soon be making sugar. The Crows have come." All signs are 

 fallible, and I have seen it 35° below zero after the Crows had made their 

 appearance.

 Raven.

 nibal bird, or the bird which has the characteristics of a cannibal giant.
