gives the following birds since April 5th
as remark billy early making two early
seasons in succession: April 5th, phebe !;
April 7th, meadow lark; April 9th, ves-

and mourning dove, the first he ever saw
in this State. The arrival of the chip
ping sparrow is the earliest he has on
record. On the morning of April 18th, a
purple martin flew out of one of his mar
tin houses; probably having arrived the
