Passorculus princops. 
} At Philips Beach saw nearly if not quite as many 
as on the 5th. Five rose together from a gully where 
they may have been drinking as a stream of fresh water 
filov/s through it to the sea. All dropped within fifty 
yards of me» but although I went to the spot and beat 
the rank grass closely I actually could not start one 
of them. Others seen afterwards behaved in a similar 
manner. All took long flights and wore extremely shy. 
Two flushed on the sand hills flevi- directly to the cabba^ 
patch, where I failed to fing either of them (Philips 
Beach,Mass )v. 
Shot a male and female at Philips Beach, starting 
one of them in a mowing field on the top of a hill. 
.. Shot two at Philips Beach, both males, I am satis¬ 
fied that these Sparrovrs migrate by day, at least short 
distances, for we have repeatedly seen them come into the 
sand hills invariably from the north. 
Shot two males at Philips Beach, They v/ore with 
throe Savanna Sparrows, one Pox Sparrow, and one Tree 
Sparrow, in a Cabbage field on the edge of the sand hill.
