LIST. 95 



were observed, January 28, in the McGill College 

 grounds, by Dr. Harrington, of this city, and a male 

 specimen was shot about February 1, in the city, 

 by Mr. Dodd, gardener to J. H. R. Molson, Esq. ; 

 four were obtained February 5, at Laprairie, by Dr. 

 Brosseau, and one was secured alive by Mr. E. B. 

 Audette at the same place. Two specimens were 

 shot March 9, at Lachine, by Mr. J. H. Harris, out 

 of a flock of about thirty seen, and was recorded 

 in the " Canadian Record of Science," Montreal, 

 July, 1890, by the late Mr. Caulfield. At the same 

 time, this species was noticed in Ontario, and in the 

 United States of Massachusetts, New York and 

 New Hampshire, where they were considered as 

 remarkable visitants. "Forest and Stream" of 

 December 18, 1889, published a note from Morris 

 M. Green, Esq., of the Evening Grosbeak's occur- 

 rence December 11, 1890, at Ithaca, KY. Mr. 

 Chamberlain mentions this species in his list of 

 " Canadian Birds " as an abundant resident of Brit- 

 ish Columbia east of the Cascades, and a common 

 winter visitor to Manitoba. Some people say they 

 have seen this species here during past winters, and 

 I am inclined to believe that they have been irre- 

 gular visitants to the Province of Quebec in the 

 past, but I do not know of any published records 

 of same. I have not heard of any having been seen 

 here during the winter of 1891-92, nor since.
