BLACK-CAPT TITMOUSE. 



larity of whose notes surprised me. Having shot him from oft' the 

 top of a very tall tree, I found it to be the Black-headed Titmouse, 

 with a long and deep indentation in the cranium, the scull having 

 been evidently at some former time drove in, and fractured, but 

 was now perfectly healed. Whether or not the change of voice 

 could be owing to this circumstance I cannot pretend to decide.
