Greaaral Notes 
Coccothraustes vespertinus. — Recently, when examining the collection 
of birds made by Mr. H. E. Rich, of East Hampton, Conn, (nine miles 
east of Portland), I saw an adult male of the Evening Grosbeak which 
was killed in that vicinitv March 2, 1890. Mr. Rich informed me that 
there were twelve or fourteen in the flock, and that several Pine Grosbeaks 
were with them. The other Evening Grosbeaks reported from this State 
were taken at Portland, March 6, and Gaylordsville, March 10, of the 
same year, during the remarkable irruption of the species at that time.

The Evening Grosbeak in Connecticut. — A female Evening Grosbeak 
{Coccothraustes vesfertina ) was shot at Gaylordsville, Conn., March io, 
1890, by Mr. E. H. Austin of that place, who kindly forwarded it to me. 
Mr. Austin writes that it was one of four or five that came near his house, 
and that one of them was very yellow, probably an adult male. Gaylordsville 
— a district of the town of New Milford — is on the Ilousatonic River, 
but a few miles from the New York State line. — C. K. Averill, Jr.,
