The Labrador Chickadee (Penthestes hudsonicus nigricans) at 

 Cohasset, Mass., late in May. — From May 19 to 23, 1917, inclusive, ; 

 a Brown-headed Chickadee, probably the Labrador form, was seen 

 several times each day in the garden. The bird was very tame and easily 

 recognized. The peculiar note first attracted my attention, and after 

 once seeing the bu-d it was easy to find it at any time during its stay 

 with us. Usually it was with a small flock of the Black-capped Chickadee \ 

 (Penthesles a. atricapillus) and was as easily approached and as tame as 

 is its more southern relative. A thick row of spruces bordering the garden 

 seemed to be its favorite haunt. Neither species remained on the place 

 during the summer. — Arthur P. Chabotjrne, M. D., Jerusalem Road,
