The Catbird in Winter in Massachusetts.— In January, 1916, I 

 saw aoaUing Catbird {Dumetella carolinensis) near dusk m the Botanic 

 Garden, Cambridge, Massachusetts. On the 29th of February I saw him 

 again in a yard on Garden Street near the Botanic Garden, and agam on ; 

 10 March. This has been an unusually severe winter and the past month, 

 according to the Weather Bureau, the snowiest February since 1893, but 

 this bird seems to be in good condition. ■ i 



My only other record of the Catbird in winter is that of an individual 

 which I observed in Stoughton on December 4, 1910. My latest date for 

 an undoubted migrant is October 22, 1913, when I heard one callmg m 

 North Stoughton.— S. F. Blake, Stoughton, Mass.
