 tsird Notes from Massachusetts. — Mniotilta varia. — On the 15th of 

 December, 1895, a single individual of this species was seen among the 

 pear trees in the yard. A heavy snow-storm was raging at the time but 

 the bird was actively engaged clambering about on the trunks, on the 

 sheltered sides of the trees, where the damp snow did not cling. This 

 bu-d may have been the same one, seen in the same spot November 13 in 

 company with a flock of Chickadees. On both occasions the bird was 

 very tame and confiding, allowing me to approach near enough so see all 

 its markings. It was not seen again after the snow, which was the first 

 heavy storm of the winter.y^ouev 7n . ^cCCe^i., 'hei^H^,, fy^c^SS
