Collecfor''s notes. 



Iris brown. These are the most abundant birds of the island, and are so 

 tame that they may be killed with a stick, or captured in a butterfly -net. 

 While I was looking for insects under stones aud logs, these birds would 

 sometimes join in the search, aud hojo almost into my hands. They 

 gathered chiefly ants and their eggs. At times, they even enter the 

 houses, picking up anything edible they can find. Numbers boarded 

 the schooner as we neared the island, and made themselves perfectly at 

 home, roaming over every part of the vessel in search of food. Like 

 the Linnets {Carpodacus), they are fond of bathing in the springs 

 during warm weather. In flight, the tail is spread, displaying the white 

 lateral feathers ; and w^hen angry, the whole plumage isrufHed. A nest 

 with eggs was found April 12, on the summit of Mount Augusta, the 

 highest i)oiut of the island, altitude 3,500. It was placed in a small 

 crevice in the face of a rock.
