be of interest. 
On December 29, 18S4, a flock of four were seen and one killed in a 
dense thicket on the Fresh Pond marshes in Cambridge, and on January 
31, 1885, near the same place, I saw the remains of another, which had 
been partly eaten by a Shrike. Since then I have looked for them several 
times unsuccessfully, but think that the rest had probably been killed by 
Shrikes. — Arthur P. Ci-iadbourne, Cambridge. Mass. „ , ,
