Museum Notes.

The latest arrival at the Museum is
Holboel's grebe, commonly known as the
red-necked grebe. 1t will be remembered
that this bird was captured in a very
curious manner by some men from the
scale works. How it wandered so far
from its usual haunts in Greenland is
mystery. Mr.. Balch of Luenburg has
had the bird under observation for some
weeks, noticing its habits, and reports
that it would touch no food except when
under water, and insisted upon having
live food at that. 1t is probable that it
commonly feeds upon the small fish of
the northern streams. The birds bill is
especially large and strong, and with
this it can deal vicious blow. Its man
ner of standing, with feet braced widely
apart, is noticeable, as is also it's manner
of ruffling up its feathers on its head,
when disturbed. There are two other
grebes in the Museum, the horned and
the pied billed, but the newcomer is
much larger than either OF these. The
bird was presented to the Museum by G.
II. Horton.
The following flowers have been shown
during the past week: White wood sor-
rel, smooth sweet cicely, blue vetch, cow
parsnip, spreading dogbane, heal-all,
meadow.rue, clammy ground cherry, fen
orchs or Loesel's twayblade, and Char
lock.
The Tennessee warbler, which is very
rare bird, has been seen during the week.
