Lincoln’s Sparrow in New Brunswick. — On June 18, 1897, at Bright, 
York County, New Brunswick, my attention was attracted by a bird’s 
song which reminded me both of the song of the Grass Finch and that 
of the American Goldfinch yet was different from either. The following 
day I returned to the same place with my gun and secured the singer, 
which was later identified for me by Mr. Frank M. Chapman, to whom I 
sent it, as. Melospiza lincolni . 
This, I believe, is the first known instance of the occurrence of the 
species in New Brunswick. — Willie H. Moore, Scotch Lake, N B. 
New Brunswick Notes. — Lincoln’s Sparrow ( Melospiza lincolnii) was 
observed near Fredericton, N. B„ on August 10, 1900, and a Cardinal Gros- 
beak ( Cardinalis cardinalis') at Scotch Lake on August 20, the second 
occurrence of this species here known to me. Three male Purple Finches 
(Carpodacus purpureas) were observed at Scotch Lake on February 4, 
1901, and seven Goldfinches ( Astragalinus tristis) at the same place on 
February 15. Our ordinary winter birds have been very scarce. — W m.
