Par us. 34. Hudfonicus. New Species, Hud- 

 fon's Bay Titmoufe. 



Severn River, N° 12. 



This new ipecies of titmoufe, is called Peche-ke~ 

 ke-flnfo, by the natives. They are common 

 about the juniper bumes, of which the buds 

 are their food ; in winter they fly about from 

 tree to tree in fmall flocks, the fevereft wea- 

 ther not excepted. They breed about the fet- 

 tlements, and lay 5 eggs; they have fmall 

 eyes, with a white ftreak under them, and 

 black legs : the male and female are quite 

 alike; they weigh half an ounce, are 54. inches 

 long, and 7 inches broad. 



16. Hirundo,135. 

 Swallow, j 



Severn River, N° 58. 



The fwallows build under the windows, and 

 on the face of fteep banks of the river, they 

 difappear in autumn ; and the Indians fay, 

 they were never found torpid under water, 

 probably becaufe they have no large nets to 

 fifh with under the ice. The fpecimen fent 

 anfwers in fome particulars to the defcription 

 of the Martin, Hirundo Urbica, Linn, but feems 

 to be fmaller, and has no white on the rump. 

 I have, therefore, thought it beft to leave the 

 fpecies undetermined, till further informa- 

 tions are received from Hudfon's Bay, on this 

 fubjecl.
