The Grasshopper Sparrow in Maine, and Other Notes. — When return- 
ing from a short trip with Mr. J. M. Swain, on June 8, 1901, we heard a 
thin sparrow-like song which we could not identify. The bird was in a 
large field not far from my home, and as the singer proved shy, I got my 
gun and soon secured it. It proved to be a Grasshopper Sparrow ( Cotur - 
niculus savannarum fiasserinus), the first to be taken in the State since 
Boardman’s original specimen, captured many years ago.
