Information Wanted 



From all who are acquainted with the follow- 

 ing three birds: Dickcissel {Spiza Americana) 

 and Grasshopper and Henslow's Sparrows 

 (Ammodramus saziannarum passerinus) and 

 A. henslozvi). 



It is well known that Dickcissel is con- 

 stantly changing his range, and that the two 

 sparrow's are rather local in their distribution, 

 often changing their summer abodes from 

 year to ^ear. It has been noticed in some 

 localities that these three birds - are much more 

 numerous this season than ever before, while 

 other species seem to be in normal numbers. 

 Have you noticed anything unusual about 

 them, and if so can you account for it in any 

 way? Word on this subject is especially de- 

 sired from those studying in New York, Penn- 

 sylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, Indiana, 

 Illinois and Wisconsin. This work applies to 

 all, whether you know any of the birds or not. 

 If you do not, drop a card saying so, that we 

 may determine as nearly as possible the range 

 of these birds for 1894.
