Northern Shrike. — Not recorded in fall, and not seen until late in 

 March. During the winter of 1894-5, several individuals remained in 

 and around Oberlin. 



The mild character of the past winter would seem to invite the birds 

 which usually do not migrate southward, to remain. Food has been as 

 plentiful as usual, yet a large number of our winter birds have not been 

 piesent. — Lynds Jones, Oberlin, Ohio. 



Corrections. — Bulletin No. 6 contained the statement that " Dick- 

 cissel is a regular summer resident in New England as far north as 

 Massachusetts, being rare further north, but locally distributed." This 

 is a mistake of the compiler of the notes and not of Mr. Buck. The bird 

 was formerly found in that region, but is not now considered a bird of 

 New England at all. 



Mr. Buck informs me that he has found Grasshopper Sparrow almost 

 in the suburbs of New Haven, and also on the north Massachusetts state 

 line ; and that therefore the word " very " as applied to the rarity of the 

 species at New Haven, should be stricken out, and the bird's range extend- 

 ed into southern New Hampshire and Vermont. It is everywhere locally 

 distributed because suitable places for nesting are not numerous. 



The name of Mr. Chester Barlow, Box 135, Santa Clara, California, 

 was inadvertently omitted from the list af Active members in Bulletin 

 6. Mr. Barlow was elected an Active member in November, 1895. Al,so 

 the name of Mrs. Agnes Chase, Chicago, III., who was elected last April. 



Mr. Geo. D. Peck has changed his address to Salem, Oregon. 



In Bulletin No. 6, Mrs. T. B. Tullock should read Mr. T. B. Tullock, 

 Rockford. 111.
