Capture of a Canada Jay ( Perisoreus canadensis ) near Cambridge, 
Massachusetts. — Mr. James R. Mann has given me permission to announce 
the interesting fact that a Canada Jay was shot at Arlington Heights 
(within sight of Cambridge and less than four miles distant in an air 
line) by Mr. E. B. Winship, Oct. 17, 1889. The specimen was mounted, 
and is now in Mr. Mann’s collection. It is a male in perfect autumnal 
plumage. The stomach was filled with the remains of “wasps or bees,” 
but contained no traces of other food. 
Mr. Maynard has reported (Birds of E. N. A. , 1879, P- 168) seeing a 
Ca-nada Jay in Newton ville “in early summer” about 1875, but Mr. Mann’s 
bird seems to be the first that has been actually taken in Massachusetts.—
