The Cardinal Grosbeak In Massachusetts. — On November 14, 
1880, Mr. J. E. Fowle took a Cardinal Grosbeak ( Cardinalis virginiana ) 
in this place. It was with Chickadees ( Parus atricafillus ) hopping 
around on low bushes. It did not have the appearance of an escaped cage 
bird, such as worn tail feathers, long claws, etc. — E. H. Richards, IEo-

Cardinal Grosbeak. 
A Cardinal Grosbeak (Cardinalis cardinalis) 
was shot in Wellesley, Mass., Nov. 4, 1888, by 1 • 
W Denton. The bird, which is now m my pos- 
session, is an adult male. The feathers of the 
wings and tail are in good condition, not bei g 
worn as would likely be the case were the 
bird an escaped specimen from some cage, 
was shy and with some difficulty was ap- 
proached near enough to be shot. This is the 
first instance so far as I know of the Cardinal 
Grosbeak having been taken in Wellesley, al- 
though one was seen a few years ago y a o- 1
