Some North American Birds in Panama 422 J•w•, NorthAmerican Birds in Panama. I[AukJuly SOME NORTH AMERICAN BIRDS IN PANAMA. BY L. L. JEWEL, C. E. DUR•5'Gthe greater part of 1911 and up to September,1912, the author lived at Gatfin, Canal Zone, and nearly all Sundays and holidays (luring this period were spent in collectingand studying native birds. Naturally, many birds of the A. O. U. Check-List were observed, some resident in Panama and some transients or winter visitors. After July, 1911, records of the occurrence of suchhave beenkept as completelyas availabletime would allow. In many casesspecimens were taken as recorded.in the annotated list following. Gat fin is situated sevenmiles inland and directly south of Co16n, at the beginningof what are practically the first foot hills of the Isthmus. The coast-lineswings so far in just west of Co16n,how- ever, titat only three or four miles of low fiat land- some of it very marshy-- separatesGatfin from the bay. Indeed, salt water now comesup the old French canal, the East Diversion and the new American eanal, to the very door of Gatfin. The valley of the Rio Chagresis here about a mile and a half wide and is now, of course,filled acrossby the Gatfro locks,dam and spillway. This constructionwork has destroyedmuch cover,but on the other hand, the clearingsmade in and about the town of Gatfin and the partial filling of Gatfin lake have perhapsmade the locality more attractive to certain migrant birds from the north. To the south of Gatfin the ridgesdiverge rapidly with miles of the Black Swamp country stretchingbetween them and only a few thiekly grown knolls lessthan one hundred feet high scatteredhere and there. Practically'all of thesewill be submergedwhen the lake is altogetherfilled. The higherhills on either sideof the valley at Gatfin, are about two hundredand fifty feet above sealevel, with a few pointsreach- ing to twice that elevation. Just three miles south of Gatfin on the old line of the Panama Railroad, and in the heart of the Blaek Swampcountry is, or rather was, Loma de Leon, or Lion Hill. It is now accessibleonly by Vol.1913 XXX] J JEWEn,North Ame•'gcan Birds in Panama. 423 canoeand will soonbc lost under the rising waters of Gatfin lake. Thus passesperhaps, the foremost]and-mark of Middle American ornithology. In presentingthe dates for the speciesgiven below, attentior• might be called to the very short time which somenorthern bh'ds are absent from the tropics. The Spotted Sandpiper(Actiris mac•laria) for example,is re-. cordedin every month of the year, except•Iay and June, and this by intermittent observancecovering but little more than oneyear's time. It is, of course,probable that stonefe•v individuals of this speciesmay fail to join the northward movement, and for some reasonor other, spend the entire breedingseason in the tropics; but the arrival of apparently healthy birds in early August, indi- cateshow quicklythe return trip is madeafter the family is reared. The Semi-palmatedPlover (zEgialitissemipalmata) is still earlier in making the return trip, somearriving on the isthmusshortly after the middleof July. Along with the group of early Shore Birds and Swallows,is another Passefinebird which arrives in Panama while it is yet sum- mer in the temperate zone. This is the Yellow Warbler (De•- droica eestit,a eestiva)which certainly may be found in Panama in every month but Jnne and July. This meansthat long before the last bbxlshave left the breedinggrounds in the northernUnited States,the advanceguard is in Panama. Again,in the spring,when first arrivalsare choosingnesting sites as far north as New England many of their kind are still flitting and feedingamong the mangoes and guavasthree thousandmiles southward. Certainly a remark- able distribution. All birds of the A. O. U. Check-List which were identified with certainty, are includedin the followingllst. For severalidentifi- cationsof subspecies,I am indebted to Mr. W. W. Grant of Engle- wood, N.J., and Mr. W. de Witt Miller of the American Museum of Natural History. 1. L•rus •trici11•. LauomNo Gu•,•,.-- A single individual was seen at the mouth of the old French canal near Col6n on December 10 and three more at the sameplace on December 13, 1911. 2. .•tern•. hirundo. Co•oN T•N.--One bird of this specieswas shot from a flock of the following at Gatfin, on December 3, 1911. A singlebird was taken on Gatfin lake on June 9, 1912. 424 JEWEL,'North American Birds in Panama. [JulyAuk 3. Hydrochelidon nigra surinamensis. BLACK TERN.--A few frequentedGatfin lake from December3 to 13, 1911. Onespecimen taken. 4. Anhinga anhinga. WATERTURI•E¾.-- Sparinglyresident in the Gat fin lake district. 5. Pelecanus occidentalis. BROWNPELICAN.--Fairly commonon the Atlantic side. Have also seen them on Gatdn lake. 6. Pelecanus californicus. CALIFORNIA BROWN PELICAN.--Conl- mon on the Pacific side. 7. Fregata aquila. MAN-O'-WARBIRn.-- A commonresident, espe- cially on the Pacific side. 8. Arias platyrhynchos. MALLARD.--Seems to be a rare visitor. One seenon a small lake near Miraflores (Pacific side) on November 26, 1911. Only record. 9. Querquedula discors. BLUE-WINGEnTEAL.-- Probablythe earli- est migrant duck to arrive in Panama. First record is October 14, 1911. A week later it was abundant and for awhile continued so in the marshes around Mindi. Several stomachs were examined and the contents con- sisted largely o[ a small round green unknown seed. The flesh was ex- cellent. On one occasion,I found three birds standingleg deep in the soft hydraulicfill of Gatfin dam. The last record is February 7, 1912, but the specieswas abundant only through November,most of the birds ap- parently goingon into South America. 10. Marila aiTinis. LESSERSCAUP DUC•<.--A very abundant duck on Gatdn lake during the winter months. The earliest record is November 25, 1911, and the latest is March 25, 1912. 11. Ajaia ajaja. ROSEATE SPOON-BILL.--One seen at Gatfin in November, 1911. Probably a rare resident. 12. Ardea herodias herodias. GREATBLUE HERON.-- One positive recordon October29, 1911. This bird was seenat Mindi and inspected closely. In fact, it seemedvery reluctant to take wing and only did so after repeated approachesto probably 30 feet. Other recordswere made at various times, but on June 9, 1912, a heron was shot on the Gatdn River which is clearly another species--or at least, another form. I therefore fee] somedoubt as to all recordsfor this bird, exceptthe onegiven above, and believe there is a resident heron in Panama entirely distinct from the presentspecies, being slightly smallerand without any rufus on the thighs. So far as I am now aware, it is as yet undescribed. 13. Egretta candidissirna candidissirna. SNow¾ EGRET.-- One specimentaken at Mindi on September1, 1912. Probablya rare resident. 14. Hydranassatricolor ruficollis. LOUISIANAHERON.-- Sparingly resident. 15. Florida c•erulea c•erulea. LITTL• BLUE HERON.---The most abundantmember of the family in Panama.

SORA.--On October 1, 1911, Mr. Harry Fergusonof Toro Point shot and presentedto me for preservation, a bird of this species. It was, at high noonon a bare coralbeach, in the shadowof a high rock cliff, up which it was attempting to climb. Several birds were seenon October 7 and again October 14, 1911, at Mindi. 18. Ionornis martinica. PURPLE GALL•NULE.-- A common resident. 19. Gallinula galeata. FLORIDAGALL•CLE.--Probably rare. One recorded January 18, 1911. 20. Himantopus mexicanus. BLACK-NECKEDSTILT.-- From No- vember 4 to 11, 1911, it wasreported to me daily that" a funny snipewith a black back and red legs" was feedingin the west valley of Gatfin Dam. I went out and took it on November 11. Except that it was not a snipe, that its back was not black and its legsnot quite red, the descriptionwas fairly accurate. No others have bccn recorded. 21. Gallinago delicata. WILSON'S SNirE.--Abundant for a few weeksduring October and November. They becomemuch lessabundant in December but somebirds remain all winter while greater numbers pass on southward. The earliest record is October 7, 1911 and the last January 7, 1912. 22. Pisobia maculata. PECTORAL SANDPIPFR.--This bird is abun- dant in the grassymarshes about Mindi for a short period. Dates October 7 to 22, 1911. 23. Pisobia minutilla. LEAST SANDrirER.--These dainty little birds arc perhapsthe most abundantsandpiper in Panama, except Actiris macularia. One was taken at Toro Point on September 4, 1911, and again on August 23, 1912. Last one seenin spring at Gatfin, February 18. A large flock spentthe entire winter in the hydraulicfill of Gatfin Dam. 24. Ereunetes pusillus. SE•I-rAL•AqmD SANDr•rER.--Found spar- ingly with the precedingspecies. September4, 1911, to February 22, 1912, are extreme dates for the season. 25. Totanus fiavipes. LESSERYELLOW-LEGS.-- A singlespecimen of this specieswas taken at Gatfin on August 27, 1911. The next record is October 7, but after that date, it was abundant for some four weeks. November 30 is the last record until March 3, 1912, when one individual was seen. 26. Helodromas solitarius solitarius. SOLITARY SANDrIrER. An abundant visitor. September 9, 1911, and September 1, 1912, arc fall dates. The last bird was seenFebruary 25, 1912. 27. Bartramia longicauda. UrLAND PLOVER.-- This speciesarrived in Gatfin, September12, 1911• and wasnot rare until December8, when the last bird was seen. In 1912, the first bird was seenon September1. For weeks they were in, and around, Gatfin daily, feeding and even roosting at the very doorsof the quarters.

  • Chapter 3 the Creation of the US Tariff Commission
    Chapter 3 The Creation of the U.S. Tariff Commission Photo: Frank Taussig, the first Commission Chairman. Page | 71 Chapter 3: The Creation of the U.S. Tariff Commission W. Elliot Brownlee155 Introduction The great movement for economic and political reform that swept the nation in the early 20th century—the movement that historians commonly refer to as “progressivism”—provided the impetus for the creation of the U.S. Tariff Commission. At the national level, the progressive movement had as one of its major targets the tariff system that had emerged from the American Civil War. The high-water mark of progressive reform of tariffs was the enactment in 1913 of the Underwood-Simmons Tariff Act as a central expression of the “New Freedom” agenda that President Woodrow Wilson had championed in his successful bid for the presidency in 1912. (The sponsors of the act were Oscar W. Underwood, a Democratic Representative from Alabama, and Furnifold M. Simmons, a Democratic Senator from North Carolina.) In framing this agenda Wilson called for sweeping reforms that would constrain corporate power and expand economic opportunities for middle-class Americans. The result was an unprecedented burst of federal legislation. It began with the Underwood-Simmons Tariff (referred to below as the Underwood Tariff) and was followed in short order by the Federal Reserve Act (1913), the Federal Trade Commission Act (1914), and the Clayton Antitrust Act (1914). In the process of enacting these measures Wilson displayed more effective executive leadership than had any another President since Abraham Lincoln. And, the measures themselves permanently expanded the role of the federal government in the economy and, at the same time, enhanced the power of the executive branch.

  • Guide to Marianne Moore Series VI Family Correspondence
    Series VI: Family Correspondence Family correspondence is arranged chronologically. Beginning in 1848, it includes letters to and from the Rev. John Riddle Warner (MM’s maternal grandfather) from the time of his early pastoral work in Pennsylvania. Most of these letters (1848-1859) are written by or to Henry and Mary Warner (his parents), Henry Warner (his brother), and Annie Warner (Mrs. Robert) Armstrong (his sister). Other letters addressed “Dear Brother: ae from his ministerial colleagues. Beginning about 1859 there are added letters to and from Jennie Craig, who became his wife in 1860; her brother, George Craig; and the Eyster family, relative of the Craigs. Many letters are addressed from Laurel Hill, Pennsylvania, home of Jennie Craig and her family near Gettysburg. Jennie and John Warner lived near Gettysburg after their marriage. Mary Craig Warner was born to John and Jennie Warner in 1862. In September 1863, Jennie Warner died as a result of the disease which infested the Gettysburg area after the Civil War battle there. Infant Mary went to live with her Warner grandparents in Allegheny, Pennsylvania (now part of Pittsburgh). Letters from her to her “Pa” begin about 1870. About 1865, her father moved to Kirkwood Presbyterian Church. When Mary Warner reached high school age, she joined him, and attended the Mary Institute in St. Louis. She married John Milton Moore in 1884 and moved with him to Newton, Massachusetts, where their son, John Warner Moore, was born in 1886. While there, her husband suffered a nervous breakdown, and Mary Warner Moore returned to her father’s home in Kirkwood.
