146 MEMOIRS OF THE NUTTALL ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB 



bird on both occasions I have considered this as one record only although of 

 course there may have been two different individuals. 



On September 15, 191 1, Miss Boardman again observed a Lark Sparrow at 

 Manchester. 



236 [554] Zonotrichia leucophrys leucophrys (J. R. Forst.). 

 White-crowned Sparrow. 



Uncommon transient visitor. May 10 to May 28; October 3 to October 18 

 (November 30, December 17). 



The December 17 record is for 1910, at Gloucester where a bird of this 

 species was seen by Messrs. Barron Brainerd and J. L. Peters. The November 

 30 record is for 1919, a bird seen at Ipswich by Mr. Ralph Lawson. 



At least three White-crowned Sparrows were singing near my house at Ips- 

 wich on May 24, 1913. It was a cold wet day with a sea fog driving by, and this, 

 together with the sad song — more wet zvetter wet cJic zee — reminded me very 

 strongly of the Labrador coast. 



237 [558] Zonotrichia albicoUis (Gmel.). 



White-throated Sparrow; Peabody-bird. 



Common transient visitor, occasional summer resident ; rare in winter. April 

 II to May 30; summer; September 10 to November 14; winter. 



The winter records are as follows: January 17, 1905, Nahant, Mr. H. W. 

 Wright; February 21, 1915, and February 5, 1916, Lynn, Mr. A. P. Stubbs; 

 January 24, 19 19, Beverly, Miss V. E. Crittenden. 



In the summer of 1905, Mr. F. H. Allen^ found evidence of the breeding of 

 this species in Boxford. 



238 [559] Spizella monticola monticola (Gmel.). 



Tree Sparrow. 



Abundant winter visitor. October 7 to April 23. 



The numbers of these birds that visit us in winter vary greatly. One of the 

 largest flocks I ever saw was one of at least a hundred and fifty birds feeding on 

 the seeds of the beach-grass at Ipswich on January 6, 1918.
