Two males sang through July at the bog just below our 
July 5 house, a third at Cunningham Pond and a fourth at the base of 
to 
Aug. 15. Pack Monadnock. These were all that I met with. They con- 
tinued in full song up to (and including) July 29th after which 
they maintained absolute silence.

1898. Albino (?). 
Oct. 14. While on my way bach (from the cabin to the Barrett farm) 
and just as I was descending the slope beyond Benson’s a large 
flock of Juncos accompanied by several White-throated Sparrows 
and a few Yellow-rumps started from an asparagus bed and flew 
into the thicket by the roadside. Among them was an albino 
which I took to be a White-throated Sparrow. It was very 
tame and most conspicuous in the densest cover. I watched it 
a long time. It was wholly snow white with a white bill. In 
the absence of all color I could only judge of its identity 
by its size and shape which seemed to refer it to Zonotrichia . 
It would not make any sound so I could get no clue in that 
way. The only thing that made me at all doubtful as to its 
being a White-throat was the fact that it hopped and flitted 
about very much after the manner of a Junco but it seemed al- 
together too large for a Junco. It was decidedly the finest 
albino I have ever seen living and I regretted that I had no 
means of secur 
it.
