being afraid to catch it, as he said, "it glow'rd at him." 

 It was caught by a man of the 42nd, and lived in my room 

 for several days, getting quite tame. At night it always 

 became restless, and finally killed itself against the wires of 

 its cage. Mr. Harry Tucker saw another some short time 

 afterwards, in a cave on the south shore. 



Great North American Shrike {Lanius borealis). Only 

 one specimen shot by myself, on the 12th of March, 1850, 

 near Harris's Bay, and now iu my collection. 



Hooded Fly-Catcher (Myiodiodes mitratus). One speci- 

 men only, shot at Ireland Island, March 30th, 1847. 



PiPiRY Fly-Catcher {Muscicapa dominicensis). The first 

 specimen was found by myself sitting on the top of a cedar 

 tree, ia Mr. Hurdis' garden, on March 30th, 1850. It 

 proved to be a very fine male specimen. Two others were 

 killed on St. David's Island, 15th of AprU, of the same year. 



Tyrant Fly-Catcher (M. tyrannus). Very numerous 

 ia April, 1850. They were found ia all the swamps, and 

 were extremely tame. I generally saw them sitting on the 

 fences, and darting after passing insects, always returning 

 to their former station.

 men, shot by Mr. Hurdis, near Chief Justice Butterfield's

 were afterwards obtained.
