June 10. — ^ Flushed a Hermit Thrush, 

 Hijlofilchla unalascm pallasi. Between 

 you and I, Mr. Editor, do you think it is a 

 square deal to give this innocent bird such 

 a name ? Don't you think if that bird had 

 to sign his name often, say as president of 

 a silver mining company with well watered 

 stock, don't you think he would — dash 

 Mr. Eidgway and tri-nominale ? O con- 

 fess to a strong desire to cling to the 

 " Turdus" of other days, but I suppose I 

 must display my acquaintance with the 

 " new nomenclature" or, like the fellow 

 who the grave digger in Hamlet condemns 

 for not having been at court, I shall be 

 " surely damned " in the eyes of your sci- 

 entiiic readers. Well, this long named 

 party got up olf three eggs laid in a nest 

 on the ground under the protecting shade 

 of a low bending limb of a spruce tree. A 

 visit to the nest two days after determined 

 the fact that it had been deserted, and Mr. 

 : Banks says "I have observed that this spe- 

 cies of bird frequently deserts a nest after I 

 it has been discovered." j

24. Turdus aonalaschkae pallasii. Hhriviit Thrush.— A 

 case of the probable breeding of this Thrush on Long Island lias 

 come to my notice through the khidness of Mr, Charles Earle, of 

 New York City. On the 23d of September, 1878, near, Lake 

 Ronkonkoma, he secured a Thrush of this species in the nest- 

 ing plumage, and on the next or the following day another in: the 

 same plumage. Both specimens show conclusively that they are 

 very young- birds, each being in the undeveloped feather-stage 

 peculiar to altrieial birds just leaving the nest. As both speci- 

 mens were taken in the same neighborhood, it is presumable that 

 they were nest companions, although one is some days More de- 

 veloped than the other. I have shown them to Mr. J. A. Allen, 

 'who informs me that he knows of no instance of such immature 

 birds migrating. _
