Hare, and apparently only found in the pine-woods of the north end 
of the island.

Two kinds of owls were seen on the island, but as no specimens of 
either were obtained it is quite impossible to indicate the species. .

Sr. CH. —Wing, 15.00-1C.40; tail, 10.50-11.65; culmen, 1.25-1.35; 
tarsus, 3.50-3.75; middle toe, 1.80-2.10. Adult: —Pileum, lesser wing- 
coverts, secondaries, primary-coverts, alula, terminal portion of pri¬ 
maries, entire lining of the wing (including axillars), and terminal band 
on the tail (1.00-1.00 wide) blackish-brown, sometimes almost black; 
auriculars, cheeks, and throat dirty whitish, or light isabella-color. 
Rest of the i^lumage marked with transverse bars of brownish-black, or 
dark brown, and brownish white, or light isabella-color, the bars most 
regular on the lower surface (and often the upper tail-coverts), where 
they extend uninterruptedly from the foreneck to the crissum, the bars 
of the two colors being about equal in width, the dark ones fainter on 
the crissum, narrower and more distant on the foreneck; on the middle 
and greater wing coverts they are similar to those on the abdomen ; V 
on the interscapulars the dark ones are much wider than the light ones, 
and nearly black ; on the scapulars dark brown prevails, the lighter 
bars being almost obliterated. The basal half or more of the outer hve 
or six X)rimaries are isabella-v/hite, transversely mottled, or raggedly 
barred, with grayish and dusky, the shafts clear yellowish-white. Tail, 
except dusky terminal band, marked with ragged transverse bars of 
brownish-gray and isabella-white, of equal widths, the bars of the two 
colors separated by a narrower zigzag bar of dusky. Immature. —Re- 
miges and rectrices the same as m the adult, but the terminal band of 
the tail narrower and less sharply defined ; pileum and lesser wing-coverts 
dark brown, the feathers with lighter brown edges (these sometimes 
worn off); back and scapulars dull grayish brown, the latter plain, the •< 
former usually slightly variegated with lighter borders and tips to the 
feathers. Lower parts light grayish-brown, with longitudinal dashes 
of dirty whitish ; upper tail-coverts dull grayish-brown, tipped with 
dirty whitish, and sometimes barred with the same, the feathers with 
darker shaft-streaks; lower tail-coverts very indistinctly marked in 
much the same manner. Auriculars, cheeks, and throat ])laiu dirty 
white, as in the adult. Pulhis. —General color light isabella-color, or 
brownisli-white, with an umber-brown patch over the scapula, con¬ 
nected with one over the radius and ulna; pileum uniform umber- 
brown. 
Remarks. —In the adult plumage, all the contour-feathers have dis¬ 
tinctly black shafts, especially on the lower surface and upper tail- 
coverts; on the tibim and anal-region, the dark bars are smaller and 
more faint than elsewhere, and incline to a sagittate form; the feathers 
of the lining of the wing are sometimes narrowly tipped with light 
isabella-color, or tawny-brown, and the transverse bars are faintest and
