song carried but four or five rods and was much longer and 

 more elaborate than the usual one. 



Mr. Rogers recorded an early Solitary Sandpiper {Helo- 

 dromas s. solitarius) seen by Mr. W. DeW. Miller, Mr. J. M. 

 Johnson and himself along the Dead River, a tributary of the 

 Passaic, April 18. Later in the day the party visited a Great 

 Horned Owl {Bubo v. virginianus) nest on the Third Watchung 

 Mountain near Mt. Horeb and found the one remaining young 

 bird perched near the ground a few yards from the nest. That 

 it had flown at this date meant that the eggs must have been 

 laid about February 20. 



Mr. Alanson Skinner was the speaker of the evening, and 

 his title was, '^In my Grandfather's Wigwam." He had been 

 adopted by a chief of the Menominee tribe of Indians and had 

 spent many weeks with the tribe and had heard great numbers 

 of the stories told in front of the fire in his grandfather's, or, 

 more correctly speaking, his uncle's lodge, and others. He now 

 gave the Society a selection of these stories, told Indian fashion, 

 and chosen especially from those relating to birds and other 

 animals.

Mr. Weber reported that he had received a Puffin (Frater- 

 cula a. arctica) that had recently been picked up, some weeks 

 dead, on the beach at Montauk, L. I. Mr. Weber himself 

 had on the morning of the meeting collected at Palisades 

 Park, N. J., a male Black-throated Blue Warbler {Dendroica 

 ccerulescens) with even more black on its back than typical 

 cairnsi. He said that he had one or two others in his collection 

 that from their color would be referable to the southern form.

 a female Tennessee Warbler (Vermivora peregrina) May 8 and 

 a male the following day.
