Towards the last of 
October it was whispered that an old friend had 
appeared, and another of the same family a few 
days later confirmed it, and by the 12tli of No- 
vember we recorded seven Snow y Owls as ar- 
riving at Boston; all, as near as I can ascertain, 
being killed in this State.

A specimen of the Snowy Owl was taken at Glouces- 
ter. Mass., Nov. 10th, during a north-east rain storm. 
This is I believe, the earliest date of the capture of one 
of these birds in Massachusetts. Harry Gordon White, 
U. S. Fish Com., Gloucester. 
We rceived a specimen from Plymouth, Mass., shot 
about the same time.
