the privileges of the young student of ornitholo-gy was of no avail, and pseudo-scientists still hold theirown, and I think the compound name will be contracted toa simple one ere long.

What is the history of the Swain-sons Warbler in South Carolina and the prominent orni-thologist connected with their slaughter, who himself or bya proxy, secured all that could be found ?
