NOTES.
(1) BUTEO LINEATUS. Audubon is probably correct in the opinion that this hawk is identical with the B. hyemalis of Wilson, Bonaparte and Nuttall ; age makes considerable difference in the plumage.
(2) BUBO AsIO. Many ornithologists believe that Audubon has confounded two distinct species under this name. According to him the Strix (or Bubo) nævia, or gray owl of Wilson and others, is nothing more than the adult of the B. Asio, or red owl of the same writers. The specific identity of the two birds which Wilson had described as distinct under the above names, was first publicly maintained by Charles Lucien Bonaparte. In this opinion the French ornithologist is supported by Audubon and Dr. Bachman. On the contrary, the observations of Dr. Ezra Michener of New Garden, Chester county, Pennsylvania, published in the eighth volume of the Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences, of Philadelphia, seem to indicate that they are specifically distinct. He observes that the red owls rear

young of the same colour ; and that the gray owls likewise have young which are gray, and mottled from the very nest. I have seen a specimen, having all the ap- pearances of a very young bird, which was gray and mottled instead of red. Ad- ditional observations must be made, before this question can be decided.
(3) MYIODIOCTES FORMOSUS. Several specimens of this beautiful warbler were procured in Cass county, Georgia, during the summer of 1847, by my brother, Jo- seph Le Conte, M. D. of Macon., Dr. Bachman has never found it in South Caro- lina.
(4) PICUS LE CONTEI. This is a new species of woodpecker, discovered by my young friend Wm. L. Jones, M. D., of Athens, who procured a single specimen in Liberty County, during the Spring of 1847. It is described and figured by him, in the Annals of the Lyceum of Natural History of New-York, for Sept. 1848. (vol. 4. No. 12. Sept. 1848 ; p. 489-90.) It is named in honour of Joseph Le Conte, M. D., of Macon, Georgia. The species is tolerably well characterized, although it would be desirable, as suggested by its discoverer, to have it established by further speci- mens. The absence of the first toe may possibly be the result of an arrest of de- velopment ; but, it is proper to remark, that if the deficiency arose from this cause, the laws of monstrosity render it probable that any other than the first toe would have been more likely to be absent. Besides, it is well known that there are two other species of three-toed woodpeckers found in the United States. The speci- men is deposited in the Museum of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadel- phia.
(5) CENTURUS CAROLINENSIS. It is a remarkable fact that our paroquets are very rapidly diminishing in number. Along our maritime districts, where 15 or 20 years ago they were plentiful, scarcely any are now to be found ; and it is prob- able, that in a short time they will entirely disappear from our State.
(6) TETRAO UMBELLUS. This bird is not uncommon in the mountainous dis- tricts of Georgia.
(7) GRUS AMERICANA. Contrary to the opinion of many Naturalists, Audubon and Bachman maintain, that the white crane (G. Americana) and the brown crane, (G. Canadensis) are identical ; the latter, being only the young of the former. The fact that young birds usually associate together, together with the circumstance that many birds breed long before they have attained their full plumage, may, in a measure, serve to remove the difficulty of explaining on the assumption of an identity of species, why it is that the white and brown cranes are seldom, if ever, found associated. But it appears to me that additional observations are required to clear up this difficulty. Many individuals who have resided 40 or 50 years on our pine barrens near the sea-coast, and who have observed the habits of the crane, have informed me that they have never seen a white bird. It is true, that the ob- servations of Audubon and Bachman prove conclusively, that the young of the white crane, like those of most white birds, are dark coloured ; but this is far from being sufficient to establish an identity of species ; for it is possible that the young of the brown bird never becomes white. The only method of deciding the ques- tion is, to procure a specimen of the young of the brown crane, (as it is unques- tionable that birds of this colour do breed,) and to keep it for several years.

COLEOPTEROUS INSECTS.
The following catalogue of Coleopterous Insects is by no means to be considered as complete. Entomology has been too little studied in this country to render any thing of the kind possible. It, however, may give some idea of what was known in the science when it was drawn up. As for the other classes of Insects, they have been so entirely neglected that it cannot be said any thing is known about them. JOHN LE CONTE.
