BRAINS AND BODIES. 
In referring to the figures given in the above table, Mr. Park said : 
“The flycatchers, hawks and owls have very large eyes, and in some 
cases one eye weighs as much as the whole brain. Owls are remark- 
able for having the cerebrum larger in proportion to the whole brain 
than most other birds, and the flycatcher is noted for having the optic 
lobes of the brain more largely developed than other species. Ducks 
and gulls have a medium-sized brain. The grouse and partridge 
have the smallest brain in proportion of any of the birds in this vicin- 
ity. The domestic fowl has an insignificant brain in comparison to 
the weight of its body, the brain weighing only about one-five-hun- 
dredth part of the body, while a sparrow’s brain weighs about one- 
thirtieth of the total weight of the bird.” 
[The above is a part of an article which appeared in the Zroy Times 
on Austin F. Park’s collection of mounted birds, and was sent in 
by Mr. H. C. Campbell of Lansingburgh, N. Y. Mr. Campbell 
states in connection to the above that Mr. Park has three specimens 
in his collection captured in his locality which are very rare ; namely, 
Com. European Crake, Swallow tailed Kite and Kumlien’s Gull. The 
latter is the only recorded specimen taken in this state (N. Y.)
