The Pine Grosbeak at Washington, D. C. 



Since the matter on the preceding pages was put in type, we have 

 received a number of interesting censuses which we should have been glad 

 to print had they arrived in time for insertion in their proper places. We 

 must make room, however, for a record of the Pine Grosbeak at Wash- 

 ington, D. C. (the most southern point from which the species has been 

 recorded this season), by Mr. Thomas H. Levering, who writes that he 

 satisfactorily identified three individuals of this species, a short distance 

 outside the city limits, on November 26, 1903-
