Ectopistes migrator ius . 
The following is from a letter to Vto. Dutcher, 525 Man- 
hattan Ave., New York, N.Y., dated Nov. 24, 1897, from E.E. 
Brewster, Iron Mountain, Michigan, in regard to the Passenger 
Pigeon : - 
"Knowing the interest you take in species extinct and 
approaching extinction, I think it may interest you to learn 
that a young Passenger Pigeon w as taken in this vicinity 
(Vulcan, Mich, about 10 miles from here) during the latter par-fc 
of Sept. '97. It was found near the R.R. track with a wing 
broken . 
I did not see the specimen but old pigeon hunters were 
satisfied that it was that species.
