to Mt .Washington, N.H. 
as the natives call it , a "cut-down". In the centre of this 
is a large boulder. To the top of this boulder, one at a 
tirae, they came with machine-1 ike regularity. I timed them 
for seven successive evenings. The arrival ’was within a few 
seconds of three minutes later each evening. I never saw more 
than one at a time on the rock, and that it could not be the 
same bird is proved by the fact that after shooting two speci- 
mens from the rock, the next evening a representative at the 
proper time took possession. The performance seemed to me 
exceedingly interesting, although perhaps not an undiscovered 
fact to one of more knowledge. I regret very much that I lost 
a careful memoranda of their dissection, by an unexpected fall 
into the Saco River. 
The peculiarity of their call seems to me worthy of at- 
tention. It is even more striking than the well-known cry.
