I HAVE known the male of this species 

 ever since I was a child, but have never 

 known its song till May, 1894. Its warble 

 is like the robin's, but louder, more 

 solemn, without the cheerful, everyday 

 quality of the latter's song. It intersperses 

 its song at times with its call of "chip- 

 chirr," which is such a marked and char- 

 acteristic note.
