bird of the south known as the boat
tail grakle. So much for the cas
siques, who few about nervously over
head, eSpostulating with me in bird
language for so ruthlessly sacking
their homes. 1t was too bad, could
not but admit; but it was n sacrifice
to the cause of science; perhaps they
might have been sreconciled if they
could have understood
Across my path, as 1 moved away
from the palm tree, ran strange wood
rat, over 16 inches in length, with Il
pouch in each cheek, stuffed full of
cacao seeds, from which chocolate is
made.N 1 knew from this that there
must be wild chocolate trees some
where near, and resolved to look for
them later on. 1t is always advisable
to take notice of every little circum-
stance when in the forest; it some
times leads to important discoveries.
This incident led, a week or two later,
to my finding n grove of cacao trees,
from which | procured seeds enough
10 supply me with chocolate for
months. AA
Hearing some queer noises proceed
ing from a clump of wild plantains, l
crept stealthiiy towards it, and saw
very funny sight. Perched upon plan
tain leaf, bending it nearly to the
ground, was a squirrel AS soon as he
saw me approaching he darted up a
small tree, hating at intervals. cock
ing his tail to one side and sticking out
his head in a very comical way. Seeing
that ] did not mean to molest him, he
leaped down upon the plantain again
and crept cautiously toward me, chat
tering and barking all the way, as
though to express his disapproval at
my intrusion.
He had good reason to "thank his
stars that I did not know then that
he. was Il specimen of the very rare
''golden-bellied squirrel" for / fear 1
should have added him at once to my
collection in spite of his entertaining
ways. But after enjoying his antics for
awhile / went farther into the glen, at
tracted by a soft "whrr," which knew
meant the presence of the mountain
doves, sometimes called the Tobago
partridges, or pigeons.
Robinson Crusoe says that he found in
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1896-07-29

his island "a kind of wild pigeon, who
built, not as wood pigeons, in q tree,
but rather as house pigeons, in holes
of the rock"
These may have been the blue-rock
pigeons, which were formerly abundant
in Tobago, but are now rare. But am
inclined to think that they were not
pigeons at all, but birds entirely differ
ent; for Crusoe's knowledge of natural
history was exceedingly limited. He
hardly knew a ''hawk from hern-
shaw" or "handsaw," as most errone-
ously say. However, in spite of the OBJ
scurity of the glen, | saw a bronze
colored body alight beneath some tree
ferns, and after careful stalking man
aged to shoot one of these "partridges,"
very pretty bird, with neck feathers
Of a vivid, golden green. The day
passed quickly, and as | returned from
my tramp the woods were quite dark
and the thickcts black in the night
shadows; it may be imagined that I
lost no time in covering the distance
to my hut. When reached an opening
a great night hawk darted overhead,
with its wierd cries, and out of the
deeper woods came strange, muffied
noises. One of these night birds how
cred persistently in front of me, at
times alighting directly in the path,
and again falling fiat on the ground,
with wings and tail loosely spread, as
though wounded. Many other noe
:urnal prowlers also made their ap-
pearance, especially bats, which were
continually sweeping down in front of
me. Some were of the small, common
kind, but there were others as large
as pigeons. They tapped about like
ghosts, with soft and noiseless flight;
and among them were huge vampires,
which / knew would track me to my
camp and endeavor TO such the blood
from my veins while was asleep in my
hammock.
At last I sprang into the clearing,
shaking with excitement and apprehen-
sion. Such was the termination of that
first day in the tropic woods which
had opened SO blithely.

last, loaded my gun with two charges
of duck shot, and sent one of them
crashing through the treetop. 1t
brought down shower of leaflets with
out dislodging the coveted birdnest;
but second shot, more carefully aimed,
brought one of them whirling to the
ground, where | could examine it at my
leisure. l found it to be over FIVE feet
in length, woven of tough grasses and
palm fibers, and lined with soft leaves
a long opening in the throat of this
gourd-shaped dwelling gave ingress to
the builder and possessor. Through
this the bird descends to the bed of
leaves at the bottom, where she makes
slit in the tough wall, through which
she thrusts her beak; and there she sits
calmly viewing the outside world. She
is not to be caught mapping, and at the
slightest sign of danger scrambles up
the inside of the nest and flies off in a
twinkling. 1t seemed to me that a more
perfect bird dwelling was never con-
structed; and surely, never did man or
bird enjoy more delightful surround
ings than its owner. The long grasses
that compose the nest are attached to
the extreme tip of the palm branch and
woven around the midrib; thus great
strength is combined with the elac-
ITCHY.
The architects of this wonderful
home in the palm-tops belong 10 fam
lily familiar TO most of us who live in
the north-that of the Baltimore oriole,
or golden robin"-whose nest, on a
small scale, is duplicate of this pen
dent habitation. In fact, the great
Linnaeus, who had the pleasure of first
naming the bird, called it the crested
oriole;" but the French naturalist, Gu
vier, objected TO his classification,
and renamed it the yellow cassique-
"Cassicus Icteros," derived from the
Latin "cassis," helmet, on account of
its painted crest, and from Creek
word, referring TO it's color. 1t is also
sometimes called the "yellow-tail," be-
cause that appendage is bright yellow.
1t is about 1s inches in length, with a
brown body and bright yellow bealx,
and slightly resembles the great black

II you can keep on good terms with
yourself, surely you can do the same
with the rest of the world. This was
the tenor of my reflections as / took my
morning bath in the sea, and prepared
for my first foray in the tropic forest
that stretched, unknown and unexplored
behind the bay where l had pitched my
camp.
And now, having washed away all my
cares in the sea, 1 leaped eXultantly tor
ward, over a little stream that crossed
my track. The bank beyond was very
steep, but l climbed it by using as n
ladder the roots of trees, from which the
soil had been washed away by the rains
/ finally reached great plain where the
trees were so high that had to lean my
head back so as to see their crowns, and
the foliage was so thickly interviewer
that sun and sky were obscured. But
could see for quite distance between
their immense buttressed trunks. as the
space was open, except for the network
of lianas, or bush ropes, which hung
down from the lofty limbs.
After l had penetrated little way
into this vast cathedral of trees, of
which the great trunks were the pill
lars, with groined arches supporting a
roof of verdure ! came to a lofty palm,
different from the cocoas, with
straight stem shooting up to a height of
more than 100 feet. 1t was on Oreodoxa.
l had seen many palms of this species
before, but never one with such strange
terminal appendages. There may have
been 80 or 40 long leaves, with a long,
purse-like nest, at the tip of every leaf.
There they swung, far, far above my
head, at such a height as to be inacces-
sible. OF course l was possessed with a
desire to get specimen or two, but how
to reach them was the question. AT
