Many thanks for your further kind assurances of taking posses¬ 
sion of ray June shipment of birds to Scott^if they can he found in 
his work-room, where I feel certain they will be found. If such 
should be the case kindly advise me. 
I now have a female B brachyurus, brown, perfectly white below, 
which I took on this Island in the latter part of November, or early 
December, not having my notes with me an not sure of the date. 
I have also taken the white-winged dove here this fall, and several 
hawks that may be either borealis, or „riderii. 
Very truly
