Zonotrichia albicolUs. Common, ap- 

 pearing early in October, and leaving 

 in April. My friend, Mr Gray of 

 Glasgow, has informed me that this 

 femiliar bird has been killed in 

 Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Female 

 specimens in Autumn plumage bear, 

 indeed, a somewhat near resemblance 

 to one or two Buntings, for which 

 they may be mistaken ; so that it is 

 not unlikely it may be found again 

 if closely looked for. (W.)

 Chuck-Bird. Abundant in Winter 

 from October to April. A few 

 remain to breed on the Alleghanies.
