Notes. 



The following letter was received through the kind-

Dec. 81, 1918. 

 Dear Judge Jenney: 



From Bangor my cousin writes me that a Mocking 

 Bird looked in at her window Dec. 31, and she says the 

 Bangor Commercial, Dec. 28, had one item to the effect 

 that one was spending the winter in Bangor. 



My cousin also mentioned having seen Evening Gros- 

 beaks as early as Nov. 12. They were in Gardiner the day 

 after Thanksgiving. In both cities they were seen early, 

 and all through the winter a year ago. They remained 

 in Gardiner until about the middle of May, and one of 

 my friends saw one carrying straw in its bill. 



Do you happen to know whether theopinion is held 

 that they have extended their habitat into the New Eng- 

 land States and Nova Scotia:^ 

 Yours truly, 



B, H. Wentworth.
