CoUccfor\s notes. 
Iris brown. These are the most abundant birds of the island, and are so 
tame that they may be killed with a stick, or captured in a butterlly-net. 
While I was looking for insects under stoues and logs, these birds would 
sometimes join in the search, and lioj) almost into my hands. They 
gathered chiefly ants and their eggs. At times, they even enter the 
houses, picking u}) anything edible they can find. Numbers boarded 
the schooner as we neared the island, and made themselves perfectly at 
home, roaming over every part of the vessel in search of food. Like • 
the Linnets {Carjmlacus), they are fond of bathing in the springs 
during warm weaiher. In flight, the tail is spread, displaying the white 
lateral feathers; and when angry, the whole plumage is ruffled. A nest 
with eggs was found April 12, on the summit of Mount Augusta, the 
highest point of the island, altitude 3,500. It was placed in a small 
crevice in the face of a rock.
