Zenaidura macroura. Mourning Dove. — -Two seen and shot one, the 
male, the stomach of which was forwarded to Mr. S. D. Judd, Washington, 
for identification of its contents, the result of which has been kindly sent 
me by Dr. C. Hart Merriam, Chief of the Biological Survey, from whose 
letter I quote : “ The bulk of the contents is grass seed (over two hundred 
seeds of one kind, Panicum , and a dozen of another, Paspalum). There 
was also a blackberry seed, a ragweed seed, and four quartz pebbles.”
