  A Red-headed Woodpecker has frequented the woods by Lower

Eustis on October 31, November 3, 24, 25, 29, December 9, 16.

stretches behind the cemetery in Arlington. I saw the bird
on the 9th of December. It was an immature bird, the head
beginning to show signs of red. Richard thinks he saw two
birds on November 3, and he feels positive that he saw two on
November 24.

  Mr. G. C. Deane saw a flock of 12 Juncos in Arlington on

Sparrow in the Back Bay Fens. Not a single Red-breasted Nut-

and the only instance recorded of the appearance of Red
Crossbills were one on the 25th at Belmont by Mr. Ralph Hoff-

Wright. Mr. Hoffman on the 25th, at Fresh Pond, saw 30 Tree
Sparrows and 14 Song Sparrows, and in Belmont besides the
commoner birds, two Purple Finches, four White-breasted Nut-
