Branta bernlcla.

Mr. Wm. Brow s t er, 
Dear Sir, 
I have just received from Wm.Avery Cary a Brant 
which he shot off Monomoy Point. It is a bird of very re¬ 
markable plumage having a white ring straight around the 
throat, and the plumage under the belly is a brownish black 
way down to the feet, where it should be white. 
I thought of letting you know, as it is not of ordinary 
plumage and not having seen one like it before in Mass. 
Yours very truly, 
James T. Clark.
