92 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF ALABAMA 
“Today (Jan. 19, 1892) we have had the coldest weath- 
er for several years; sleet and ground frozen. I have 
never seen the fox sparrow near any habitation unless 
it were very cold. Ina very cold spell, about 1876, sev- 
eral came into the yard at ‘Contentment,’ where there 
were also many more birds than I have seen lately. Nos. 
977 and 978 were shot near my house at Pine Knoll, dur- 
ing the very cold weather of the 19th. Craws contained 
weed seed.” 
“Saw several fox sparrows today (Jan. 22, 1892).”
