geological Nomenclature.

The buffalo in the Uuited States is
d bison; the partridge Of Michigan and
pheasant of Pennsylvania ard other
states is a ruh'ed grouse; the rabbit,
so plentiful in the market at times is
hare. Both species Of grouse, the
ruffed ana the pinnatel, are called
pheasant, partridge and patrige and
the pinnated grouse is universally re-
fcrrcl to us the prairie chicken, Prai-
rie chicken is not a bad name for the
pinnated grouse for it is original and
does not confound it with other birds,
but it is not right to use the names
partridge and pheasant when referring
TO our grouse, for these are the cor
rect names Of European specimens.

" R EANWllllE, and before any
s~ of us had left this room, one
fact had become apparent.
Mr.. Jeffrey was not going to
volunteer any fresh statement in face
of the distinct disapproval Of his sister
inlaw AS his eye fell upon the dis
trict attorney, who had fingered near,
possibly in the hope of getting some
thing more from this depressed and
