PINE-GROSBEAKS IN SUSSEX. 



On Januar}^ 21st, 1914, I was shown a couple of very fine 

 Pine-Grosbeaks {Pinicola e. enucleator) that had been 

 obtained the previous day at Brightling, Sussex. They were 

 both males, and one was of a beautiful ros}- colour and of 

 a far more gaud}' tint than the other.

 dates range from early November, but most of the birds 

 have come under notice since the new year set ia." 



Morayshire. — " I saw four or five at the end of December
