The vegetable portion of the food contains a small quantity of cultivated fruit, but observation shows that the thrush is in the habit of picking up fallen fruit instead of taking it fresh from the tree. The eating of wild fruit has no economic interest except that it serves to distribute the seeds of many shrubs and trees. There is no occasion to discriminate against this bird in any way. It should be rigidly protected. VEERY AND WILLOW THRUSH. (_Hylocichla fuscescens fuscescens_ and _Hylocichla fuscescens salicicola_.)
