General Notes 
The Field Sparrow Wintering in Massachusetts. — On the 19th of 
December, 1892, I found a Field Sparrow {Spizella pusilla) in Wellesley, 
Massachusetts, and three weeks later, January 8, saw it again in the same 
place — a sheltered and sunny nook, with a weedy garden patch and plenty 
of thick evergreens. My only previous meeting with this Sparrow during 
the winter months was in Wakefield, Mass., December 21, 1890. — Brad- 
ford Torrey, Wellesley Hills , Mass.
