less than Crows, their bodies were black, and wings white. They were 

 flying with a small flock of Crows.

Melospiza fasciata. — March 25, 9 a.m., a fine clear morning, bright 

 sunshine, temperature about 40 , light wind from the North-east ; saw and 

 heard nine Song Sparrows, along Don improvement and in Eastern 

 Park, on an area of about three acres. They appeared to be quite 

 numerous feeding among masses of chenopodium, polygonum, and 

 solidago of last year's growth. 



During the night of the 24th, the temperature fell to 29° with a strong 

 north-easterly wind, ice formed a quarter of an inch thick. As the Spar- 

 rows were not here on the 24th and as it is not likely they would cross the 

 Lake in such a cold night, in face of a brisk wind, they most probably were 

 resting during the night of the 24th among the Typhas and semi-aquatic 

 vegetation of Toronto Marsh, and took the first opportunity of moving 

 northwards on the warm morning of the 25th. The morning of the 26th 

 was clear and warm but only one Song Sparrow was heard.
