ter. — The statement that there is but one winter record of the Lapland 
Longspur in New England (Brewster’s Minot’s Land and Game Birds 
of New England, page 194) makes it interesting to record a second occur- 
rence. The record above was at Brandon, Vermont, February 21, 1879. 
On February 22, 1892, Mr. H. F. Kendall of Cambridge, Mass., shot a 
Longspur (unsexed) among a flock of Horned Larks at Duxbury, Mass. 
There were two Longspurs in the flock feeding on the beach, but one 
separated from the Larks as they flew up, and could not be found. The fact 
that the birds were in whiter plumage among a flock of Horned Larks, 
would seem to show that they could hardly have been early migrants. 
The specimen that was shot is in Mr. Kendall’s collection. — Minot

Calcarius lapponicus at Monomoy, Mass ., in April.- At Monomoy, 
Mass., on April 10, 1909, I saw at least twelve Lapland Longspurs (Cal- 
canus lapponicus), two of which I secured. The birds were apparently 
eedmg on the seeds of the coarse salt grass, which grows on- the edge of 
the marsh near the flats and is partly covered at hisrh tide
