a terrific wind and ram storm swept
over central Mississippi on the night
of tie ID inst. It came from a north
westerly direction and lasted several
hours, blowing down trees, fences,
and outhouses. The next morning at
Canton and vicinity a number Of
strange birds were found lying or
sitting on the ground, some of them
dead and Others crippled from being
hurled against trees, and other OBJ
stacles. Others were found apparent~
ly uninjured, although they seemed
unable or indisposed TO fly any con-
siderable distance. AS they are en-
tirely strangers to the locality, the
suppositlon is that they were caught
up on the seacoast by the wind and
waited that way. They are certainly
a species of the sea-foul, and resemble
the penguin.
