# The Condor/Volume 9/Number 2/Puffinus creatopus in Alameda County, California

​Puffinus creatopus iu Alameda County, California.—On July 7, 1906, I was driving along the main road, home from a trip to the Santa Clara Valley, when, about three miles from Irvington and sixteen miles from Haywards, at the side of the road I saw what at first glance appeared to be a gull. It was lying directly under the telegraph wires, a strange place, I thought, for a gull to be seen at this time of the summer and still more, so far from the bay shore, at least six miles off. I was about to pass on, when the idea struck me that I had better identify the species. On picking up the bird, my surprise was complete, as I recognized it to be an ocean straggler, a shearwater instead of a gull.
On arriving home and skinning the bird, I found it very poor, an adult male in moulting condition. The only way I could account for this shearwater (Puffinus creatopus) straying so far from its natural surroundings, is that we had been having, for a week preceding, unusually thick fogs that had extended from the ocean inland for sixty miles or more. No fogs for many years had been so heavy and lasting all thru the day. This shearwater must have lost its bearings in the fogs along the ocean coast, which about opposite would be in the neighborhood of Pigeon Point or Pescadero Beach, some fifty miles or more in a bee-line from where the bird lay. It must have passed over the Coast Range into the Bay region, wandered about until it came down lower to sight the land, and struck against the mass of telegraph wires and was killed by the contact. On skinning the bird, I found a line or dent across the front of the skull.
That oceanic birds often get lost in the fogs, if they have not the coast line to go by, is thought to be a fact from recent investigation by Mr. L. M. Loomis on Monterey Bay. (See Calif. Water Birds No. IV, page 308.)—W. Otto Emerson, Haywards, California.
# The Condor/Volume 9/Number 2/Two New Winter Records from Tacoma, Washington

​Two New Winter Records from Tacoma, Washington.—Our little back yard here in the city boasts of three small trees, namely, a cedar, a horse-chestnut and a mountain ash. Nevertheless, during the winter months my system of a daily food supply of crumbs, seeds, etc., is always productive of a large mixed flock of English sparrows, rusty song sparrows, and Shufeldt and Oregon juncos. These in turn often attract rarer visitors, such as western evening grosbeaks and Sitka kinglets.
During the past December I was much pleased to have my regular flock decoy in a new winter record in the shape of a number of Townsend warblers (Dendroica townsendi). This is the first time that I have positively identified these birds in winter, altho during past years I have several times felt personally sure of their presence between the months of December and March. The December records for 1906 occurred on the 4th, 13th, 15th, 21st and 29th, three being seen on the 15th.
The second new record is that of the Anthony vireo (Vireo huttoni obscurus). These birds have several times been reported to me in winter. Mr. W. Leon Dawson, of Seattle, tells me he heard it once in winter near his city. They are also reported as being heard in winter on Vancouver Island. From Oregon, Mr. A. W. Anthony, of Portland, writes me that they winter near there along the Columbia River. I, myself, have several times felt positive of having both seen and heard the species around Tacoma in winter, but a vireo amid snow and ice was contrary to my Massachusetts upbringing, so I have never made any official records of it. Indeed, in their small size, color, and actions they so closely resemble the Sitka kinglet (Regulus calendula grinnelli) that a field-glass identification made in our dense fire woods might not be accepted as conclusive unless a more positive record had been made. It afforded me considerable satisfaction, therefore, to personally collect two specimens, a male on November 17, 1906, and a female on January 26, of the present year; this, too, in spite of ten consecutive days when the thermometer registered from 10° to 28° above zero. In both cases the vireos were travelling with a large flock of perhaps a hundred western golden-crowned kinglets and chestnut-backed chickadees. The cold weather apparently had not bothered them in the least, as both were very fat and in excellent condition.—J. H. Bowles, Tacoma, Washington.
# The Condor/Volume 9/Number 2/Monterey Bay Notes

​Monterey Bay Notes.—While collecting, at various times during the last four years, for the California Academy of Sciences, at Monterey Bay, several interesting species of birds were observed, and Mr. L. M. Loomis, Director of the Museum, has requested me to record the occurrence of some of the rarer ones, which is done herewith.
Brachyramphus hypoleucus, Xantus Murrelet. From November 24, 1904, to February 4, 1905, these murrelets were seen nearly every time a trip was made to the seaward of Point Pinos. The last one was seen on February 25. The most seen on any one day was twenty seen January 2, 1905. They were evidently moving southward, tho leisurely, for the majority were seen on the water, frequently in pairs. A series of thirty was taken.
Simorhynchus psittaculus, Paroquet Auklet. January 14, 1905, one was taken; and January 17, 1905, two more were secured. These three were all that were seen. They were out several miles from shore.
Podicipes holbœlli, Holbœll Grebe. From November 11, 1904, to February 4, 1905, these birds were seen every time the day's trip was made toward Monterey. On January 10, ten were seen. Usually not more than four or five were observed. They were most often seen within a radius of a half mile of the Monterey wharf. About fifteen specimens were obtained.
Sterna antillarum, Least Tern. At Moss Landing near the mouth of the Salinas River a small colony of these terns were feeding young, some of which were barely able to fly August 25, 1903. Several were taken.
Xema sabini, Sabine Gull. During the latter part of September, 1903, Sabine gulls were common off Point Pinos going south. Some eighty specimens were taken.
Harelda glacialis, Old-squaw. December 23, 1904, one specimen taken, the only one seen.—Rollo H. Beck, Monterey, California.

# The Doctrine and Covenants/Section 36

Revelation through Joseph Smith to Edward Partridge, near Fayette, New York, December 1830. History of the Church 1:131.
$^1$ Thus saith the Lord God, the Mighty One of Israel: Behold, I say unto you, my servant Edward, that you are blessed, and your sins are forgiven you, and you are called to preach my gospel as with the voice of a trump;
$^2$ And I will lay my hand upon you by the hand of my servant Sidney Rigdon, and you shall receive my Spirit, the Holy Ghost, even the Comforter, which shall teach you the peaceable things of the kingdom;
$^3$ And you shall declare it with a loud voice, saying: Hosanna, blessed be the name of the most high God.
$^4$ And now this calling and commandment give I unto you concerning all men
$^5$ That as many as shall come before my servants Sidney Rigdon and Joseph Smith, Jun., embracing this calling and commandment, shall be ordained and sent forth to preach the everlasting gospel among the nations
$^6$ Crying repentance, saying: Save yourselves from this untoward generation, and come forth out of the fire, hating even the garments spotted with the flesh.
$^7$ And this commandment shall be given unto the elders of my church, that every man which will embrace it with singleness of heart may be ordained and sent forth, even as I have spoken.
$^8$ I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God; wherefore, gird up your loins and I will suddenly come to my temple. Even so. Amen.
# The Doctrine and Covenants/Section 37

Revelation to Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon, near Fayette, New York, December 1830. History of the Church 1:139.
$^1$ Behold, I say unto you that it is not expedient in me that ye should translate any more until ye shall go to the Ohio, and this because of the enemy and for your sakes.
$^2$ And again, I say unto you that ye shall not go until ye have preached my gospel in those parts, and have strengthened up the church whithersoever it is found, and more especially in Colesville; for, behold, they pray unto me in much faith.
$^3$ And again, a commandment I give unto the church, that it is expedient in me that they should assemble together at the Ohio, against the time that my servant Oliver Cowdery shall return unto them.
$^4$ Behold, here is wisdom, and let every man choose for himself until I come. Even so. Amen.
# The Doctrine and Covenants/Section 40

Revelation to Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon, Fayette, New York, January 1831. History of the Church 1:145.
$^1$ Behold, verily I say unto you, that the heart of my servant James Covill was right before me, for he covenanted with me that he would obey my word.
$^2$ And he received the word with gladness, but straightway Satan tempted him; and the fear of persecution and the cares of the world caused him to reject the word.
$^3$ Wherefore he broke my covenant, and it remaineth with me to do with him as seemeth me good. Amen.
# The Doctrine and Covenants/Section 41

Revelation through Joseph Smith to the Church, Kirtland, Ohio, February 4, 1831. History of the Church 1:146-47.
$^1$ Hearken and hear, O ye my people, saith the Lord and your God, ye whom I delight to bless with the greatest of all blessings, ye that hear me; and ye that hear me not will I curse, that have professed my name, with the heaviest of all cursings.
$^2$ Hearken, O ye elders of my church whom I have called, behold I give unto you a commandment, that ye shall assemble yourselves together to agree upon my word;
$^3$ And by the prayer of your faith ye shall receive my law, that ye may know how to govern my church and have all things right before me.
$^4$ And I will be your ruler when I come; and behold, I come quickly, and ye shall see that my law is kept.
$^5$ He that receiveth my law and doeth it, the same is my disciple; and he that saith he receiveth it and doeth it not, the same is not my disciple, and shall be cast out from among you;
$^6$ For it is not meet that the things which belong to the children of the kingdom should be given to them that are not worthy, or to dogs, or the pearls to be cast before swine.
$^7$ And again, it is meet that my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., should have a house built, in which to live and translate.
$^8$ And again, it is meet that my servant Sidney Rigdon should live as seemeth him good, inasmuch as he keepeth my commandments.
$^9$ And again, I have called my servant Edward Partridge; and I give a commandment, that he should be appointed by the voice of the church, and ordained a bishop unto the church, to leave his merchandise and to spend all his time in the labors of the church;
$^{10}$ To see to all things as it shall be appointed unto him in my laws in the day that I shall give them.
$^{11}$ And this because his heart is pure before me, for he is like unto Nathanael of old, in whom there is no guile.
$^{12}$ These words are given unto you, and they are pure before me; wherefore, beware how you hold them, for they are to be answered upon your souls in the day of judgment. Even so. Amen.
# The Elocutionist (1815-1830)/A Beth Gelert

A BETH GELERT
The spearman heard the bugle sound, And cheerly smiled the morn, And many a brach, and many a hound, attend Llewellyn's horn;
And still he blew a louder blast, And gave a louder cheer; 'Come, Gelert! why art thou the last Llewellyn's horn to hear!
​'Oh, where does faithful Gelert roam; The flower of all his race! So true, so brave, a lamb at home— a lion in the chase!'
'Twas only at Llewellyn's board, the faithful Gelert fed; He watch'd, he serv'd, he cheer'd his lord, and sentinel'd his bed.
In sooth, he was a peerless hound, The gift of Royal John; But now no Gelert could be found, and all the chase rode on.
That day Llewellyn little loved the chase of hart or hare, And scant and small the booty proved, For Gelert was not there.
Unpleased, Llewellyn homeward hied, When, near the portal seat,
His truant Gelert he espied,
Bounding his Lord to greet.
But when he gained his castle door,
Aghast the chieftain stood: The hound was smeared with gouts of gore,
His lips and fangs ran blood!
Llewellyn gazed with wild surprise, Unus'd such looks to meet; His favourite checked his joyful guise, And crouched and licked his feet.
​Onward in haste Llewellyn passed (And on went Gelert too,) And still, where'er his eyes were cast, Fresh blood-gouts, shock'd his view!
O'erturned his infant's bed he found, The blood-stain'd covert rent, And all around, the walls and ground With recent blood besprent.
He call'd his child—no voice replied: He searched—with horror wild; Blood! blood! he found on every side, But no where found the child!
'Hell-hound! by thee my child's devour'd! The frantic father cried, And to the hilt his vengeful sword He plunged in Gelert's side!
His suppliant, as to earth he fell, No pity could impart; But still his Gelert's dying yell, Pass'd heavy o'er his heart.
Aroused by Gelert's dying yell, Some slumberer 'wakened nigh; What words the parent's joy can tell, To hear his infant cry.
Concealed beneath a mangled heap, His hurried search had missed, All glowing from his rosy sleep, His cherub boy he kissed!
Nor scratch had he, nor harm, nor dread— But the same couch beneath, Lay a great wolf, all torn and dead— Tremendous still in death!
​Ah! what was then Llewellyn's pain! For now the truth was clear; The gallant hound the wolf had slain, To save Llewellyn's heir.
Vain, vain, was all Llewellyn's woe: 'Best of thy kind adicu! The frantic deed which laid thee low, 'This heart shall ever rue!'
And now a gallant tomb they raise, With costly sculpture decked; And marbles, storied with his praise, Poor Gelerts bones protect.
Here never could the spearmen pass, Or forester, unmoved; Here oft the tear-besprikled grass, Llewellyn's sorrow proved.
And here he hung his horn and spear; And, oft as evening fell, In fancy's piercing sounds would hear Poor Gelert's dying yell!
Spencer.

# The Elizabethan Stage/Volume 1/Preface

In 1903 I explained the origin of The Mediaeval Stage out of preliminary investigations for a little book on Shakespeare. That little book is still unwritten, and perhaps it was only a mirage, since working days have their term, and all that I can now offer, after an interval of twenty years, is another instalment of prolegomena. It has been in hand, more or less, throughout that period, which now ends felicitously with the tercentenary of the First Folio. But it has often been laid aside for other literary diversions, and still more often through the preoccupations of a life mainly concerned with activities remote from letters. As a result, I have constantly had to take account of new material furnished by the research or the speculations of others; and I only hope that in the process of revision I have succeeded in achieving a reasonable completeness of statement and a reasonable consistency in the conclusions of chapters drafted at very different dates.
Much in these volumes is of course mere archaeology, but the historian may find some interest in the development of the stage as an institution, and in the social and economic conditions which made such a development possible. My First Book is devoted to a description, perhaps disproportionate, of the Elizabethan Court, and of the ramifications in pageant and progress, tilt and mask, of that instinct for spectacular mimesis, which the Renaissance inherited from the Middle Ages, and of which the drama is itself the most important manifestation. The Second Book gives an account of the settlement of the players in London, of their conflict, backed by the Court, with the tendencies of Puritanism, and of the place which they ultimately found in the monarchical polity. To the Third and Fourth belong the more pedestrian ​task of following in detail the fortunes of the individual playing companies and the individual theatres, with such fullness as the available records permit. The Fifth deals with the surviving plays, not in their literary aspect, which lies outside my plan, but as documents helping to throw light upon the history of the institution which produced them. I have not for the most part carried my investigations beyond the death of Shakespeare, and although I have sometimes regretted that I did not push on to the closing of the theatres, the decision not to do so has long been irretrievable.
Obviously I am treading a region far more carefully charted by predecessors than that of The Mediaeval Stage; but the progress of Elizabethan scholarship during recent years has been so great as to render a fresh attempt at a synthesis justifiable. I am conscious of a deeper debt than I can express to many fellow-workers, notably to my friends Dr. W. W. Greg and Mr. A. W. Pollard and Professor Feuillerat of Rennes, and to a growing band of American students, of whom I may name Professor C. W. Wallace and Mr. J. T. Murray as examples.

# The Elocutionist (1815-1830)/Flight of O'Connor's Child and Death of her Lover

FLIGHT OF O'CONNOR'S CHILD AND DEATH OF HER LOVER.
'At bleeting of the wild watch fold Thus sang my love—'Oh, come with me! Our bark is on the lake—behold Our steeds are fastened to the tree. Come far from Castle-Connor's clans! Come with thy belted forestere, And I beside the lake of swans, Shall hunt for thee the fallow deer; And build thy hut, and bring thee home The wild fowl and the honey-comb And berries from the wood provide, And play my clarshech by thy side— Then come, my love!'—How could I stay? Our nimble stag hounds tracked the way, And I pursued by moonless skies, The light of Connocht, Moran's eyes!
And fast and far, before the star Of day-spring, rushed we through the glade, And saw at dawn the lofty bawn Of Castle-Connor fade. Sweet was to us the hermitage Of this unploughed, untrodden shore; Like birds all joyou from the cage. For man's neglect we loved it more! ​And well he knew, my huntsman dear, To search the game with hawk and spear; While I, his evening foot to dress, Would sing to him in happiness! But oh! that midnight of dispair, When I was doomed to rend my hair The night to me of shrieking sorrow! The night to him—that had no morrow!
When all was hushed at even tide, I heard the baying of their beagle; Be hushed, my Connocht, Moran cried, 'Tis but the screaming of the eagle— Alas; 'twas not eyrie's sound Their bloody hands had traced us out: Up-listering starts our couchant hound— And, hark; the nearer shout Brings faster on the murderers. Spare—spare him—Brazil—Desmond fierce: In vain—no voice the adder charms: Their weapons cross'd my sheltering arms; Another's sword has laid him low— Another's and another's; And every hand that dealt a blow— Ah me, it was a brother's: Yes, when his meanings died away. Their iron hands had dug the clay, And o'er his burial turf they trod, And I beheld—-O God; O God; His life-blood oozing from the sod.
