from three days to a week ahead of time, which of itself 
shows how remarkable is the present spring. Again the 
■white-throated sparrow ought to be swarming all over this 
region. As a matter of fact it is hard to find an 
individual, all of them having gone north a fortnight ago 
and the same is true of Passerella , which scarcely touched 
here on its northern passage. 
Cooke is very much interested in what you say about 
the spring migrants and we shall look for later reports 
with interest.
