 1850. C. Fragments from my note-book. — A bird breathing througb its wing. 

 Family Visitor, i, 1850, p. 32. 



A blue jay with its wing broken, was brought to me to stuff. . . . "Wishing to kill it with- 

 out injuring its skin or disarranging its feathers, I attempted to strangle it by compressing 

 its neck firmly so that the windpipe was entirely closed, and in this manner I held it several 

 minutes without its presenting any appearance of suffocation or inconvenience, and its thorax 

 contracted and expanded regularly. Putting it down on the floor it hopped off into a comer, 

 screaming and scolding as usual. I was sadly puzzled to account for tliis, till at length I 

 thought of its wing; and on examining it I found the long bone (humerus) broken, and 

 through this it breathed. After I stopped up this orifice and compressed the windpipe again, 

 it was suffocated in a few moments. . . . Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 19, 1850.

The family is divided into 5 subfamilies, each of 5 lesser groups (some not yet discovered). 

 The diagrammatic illustration of the author's views' is a pentagon (family), pointed with 5 

 lesser pentagons (subfamilies), rayed iato stars by the 25 (actual or theoretical) minor groups. 

 The quinary notion is also indicated in his arrangement of allied families.
