Editor of O. <fi 0.: 
Yours of the 18tli duly received, eggs and 
eyes also safely at hand. 1 will send check 
for balance and also renewal of subscription 
for O. & O., as the year is drawing to a close. 
1 don’t soe anything new ornithologically very 
often, it’s pretty much the same old story over 
and over now — and yot I did secure, November 
9th, a pure White Sparrow, which I judge to 
be of the variety Tree Sparrow, though there is 
not the slightest mark to distinguish it— al- 
though so perfect an Albino it had perfectly 
black eyes. 
Since I began to prepare this letter a War- 
bler, 1 should think a Pine Warbler, came on 
my arbor before my window when 1 was writ- 
ing, 1 took my little gun and secured it. It’s a 
little puzzling, only a very small white spot on 
one tail feather, each side quite yellowish on 
breast and throat, with faintyellow stripe over 
eve, general colors like a Pine or female 
Blaclc-poll Warbler, rather small for either. 1 
have all our New England Warblers, but this 
seems to vary especially in the small amount of 
white on the tail, I think it most favors the 
Pine Warbler, especially on t he wing markings. 
There was one funny thing happened about 
my place last summer which I mean to write 
up, if 1 ever get a chance, about a Bluebird 
that continued day after day and week after 
week to beat itself against my window.
