We know nothing of the habits of this flycatc^ 
except what has been communicated by Mr T. P®®. ( 
from his manuscript notes. The bird had a nest ' 
July, the time when it was obtained; its voi<' P ' 
somewhat different from that of the pewee, and 
called attention to its nest, which was built on a tr p , 
and consisted chiefly of moss and clay, with a few Id ® 1 K 
of dried grass occasionally interwoven. The y°" ft 
birds were, at that season, just ready to fly.
