Lastly, let me add that the collec- 
tiou of Brookliue's first ornithologist, 
Mr. Gordou Plnmmer, is installed iu 
the Brookliue High School, and that 
this, aud the Howe-Shattuck collec- 
tion, of which I am a part owner, are 
both accessible for stndy and com- 
parison to townspeople, the latter at 
my residence, 23 Monmouth street. 
Annotated List of Species. 
1. Bonasa umbelliis (Linn.). Ruffed 
Grouse. A common permanent 
resident. Though formerly seen 
occasionally in Longwood in the 
autumn, when they are addicted to 
"craziness." of late years I have 
heard of none being seen outside 
tiie limits of the wilder portions 
of upper Brook line. 
2. Phasianus torquatas (Gmel. ). Ring- 
necked Pheasant. Miss M. B. 
Hall saw one at Hall's pond on 
October ITth and 19th, 1901. which 
had probably escaped from some 
preserve, though none are kept in 
captivity in lower Rrookline. 
3. Colinus virginianus (Linn. ). Bob- 
White. A permanent resident, 
though perhaps slowly decreasing 
in numbers. DuriLg certain 
autumns, however, they are to be 
found quite commonly about 
Denny's or Walnut Hill, and iu 
the spring even an occasional bird 
visits the Hall's pond region, 
where the present spring a pair 
have stayed so late as to suggest 
their breeding. 
4. Ectopistes migratorius (Linn.). 
Passenger Pigeon. Formerly re- 
ported as a rare migrant, but 
during the last twenty-five years 
absent. There are two specimens 
in the Boston Society of Natural 
Hisrory (Nos. 5645) which 
were taken in the town by Dr. 
Samuel Cabot. 
5. Starnoenas cyanocephala (Linn. ). 
Blue-headed Pigeon. Accidental 
from Florida Keys and Cuba. One 
was taken October 10, ISTO. which 
was probably an escaped cage bird. 
It is now in the collection" of the 
Boston Society of Natural History.
