being alive and almost uninjured. Altogether I have collected thirteen 

 specimens up to date. — G. E. ATKINSON. 



February 10, on Surrey Place I saw one Evening Grosbeak among a 

 flock of abodt twenty-five Pinicola enucleator. — HUBERT H. BROWN. 



February 10, in the Queen's Park I saw three Evening Grosbeaks 

 eating the berries of the mountain ash, but I failed to secure any. — C. 

 E. Pearson. 



February 11, I have two fine male Evening Grosbeaks alive, which 

 were taken on February 1 1. They seem to be taking kindly to captivity 

 and their new food, they will take mountain ash berries from the hand. 

 I hope to be able to keep them and hear their song. — Wm. CROSS. 



February II, I caught three female Pine, and one female Evening 

 Grosbeak alive by the aid of a pole, and fine wire noose. The birds 

 are so tame that it is easy to slip a noose over their heads as they feed. 

 The males however of both species are rather wary, they keep to the top 

 of the trees, and fly off even at a slight alarm, so I failed to secure any 

 males alive. Immediately on being caught the Evening species utters a 

 loud cry or shriek which it keeps up for some time, and the Pine 

 Grosbeak cries out in a much weaker and more husky voice. When put 

 in a cage the Evening Grosbeak set upon the others and used them very 

 badly, having a great advantage in the powerful bill. — E. E. THOMPSON. 



February 11, I saw a beautiful male specimen in the Queen's Park. — ■ 

 C. E. Pearson. 



February 13, I secured a male specimen on Howard Street, Rosedale. 

 J. A. Varley. 



February 15, the last observed flock of Evening Grosbeaks, at Lome 

 Park is reported by Mr. Luker, for February 15. — ERNEST E. 

 Thompson. 



February 23, I saw three Evening Grosbeaks in the city. — J. L. 

 Jackson. 



February 25, for the past few days Evening Grosbeaks have been 

 common in East Toronto. — C. W. NASH. 



March 16, I observed Evening Grosbeaks in my garden on this date, 

 they were feeding on the apples left on the trees from last year. — Mrs. 

 J. R. Barber, Georgetown. 



March 17, we had these birds here the greater part of the winter. In 

 one corner of my yard there is a mountain ash, which was plentifully 

 covered with berries, that proved a glorious feast for the little beauties.
