Rogulus satrapa. 
Middlesex County, Mass, 
1865. 
Nov. 18. Tv/o males apparently trying to got up a fight, ap¬ 
pearing to great advantage as they hopped about among 
some current bushes, their crests erected and showing the 
gold and scarlet conspicuously, and challenging each 
other in shrill, fine, piping tones. The affain ended 
without actual combat, however, The ordinary note is 
a fine e_ree , ejio^, cree-ek: when flying from one thicket 
of evergreens to another they utter a faint lisping sound.
