 County. (See Allen, Am. Nat, III, 18$$, 569.) There is a recent 



record of a specimen taken in Framingham in January, 1860 

 {Browne, Auk, II, 1885, 220), and of another taken at Chatham 

 during the winter of 1883-84 (Allen, Auk, II, 1885, 383). There 

 was quite an incursion of these birds into northern New England 

 in the autumn of 1884 (Breivstcr, Auk, II, 1885, 108), and one is 

 reported as having been taken near Lynn (F. B. W\ebster\, Orn. 

 and Ool., X, 1885, 32).
