Queer Word Relatives.

The name catbird is attributed by
various authorities to the sound by
the bird in its cry of alarm, says Ma

the fondness shown for 1t by members
of the cat family. The term "catkin"
as applied to the flower axis of the
willow and poplar and the staminate
flowers of such trees as the chestnut,
