Red Prairie Hen. 
I tlainP it Liay interest you to know that I have a Red 
Prairie Hen taken in Manitoba. 'It is finely mounted. I have 
comparad it carefully with the plate in the Auk. Usually 
plates are more hib’hly colored than the originals. My Hen is 
fully as red both on oreast and back as the plate. If any- 
thing the belly is darker. I have not received data, but it 
is evidently a male. 
Co]>ied from a letter to 'ffin. Brews ter 
from Manly Hardy, dated, Brewer, Maine, 
June 30th, 1898.
