Pleotrophenax nivalis . 
j Concord, Mass. 
1897. Early this morning I heard a Snow Bunting give the chat- 
Nov.5. tering flight call a dozen times or more at short intervals 
without once uttering the clear deer which almost invariably 
follows the chatter closely. The bird (I think there was but 
one) seemed to pass over Ball's Hill and off over the Great 
Meadows towards the southwest but I could not get my eye on it

I think I heard a Snow Bunting here nearly a week ago but was 
not sufficiently sure at the time to make a note of it.
