68 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



Jane 29th. — In plantation, to watch the crows at 3.15 a.m. 



Cry of hawk (probably male) first heard at 4, and again at 

 4.2. I then heard them as follows, viz. at 5.35, 5.48, 6.7, 6.35. 

 This may represent five comings in, with booty, on the part of 

 the male. On the last occasion I saw first the female flying 

 from the usual place of rendezvous to the nest, and then the 

 male. I had walked out into the open in hopes of seeing the 

 male strike prey, or at least beating about for it, so as to judge 

 further of general habits in this respect, but without success. It 

 seems a difficult matter to see the birds when once they are quit 

 of the plantation. Leave, some time after 7 a.m. 



(To be continued.)
