The Snow Bunting does not seem to be as plentiful as usual, but I managed to procure one specimen, a beautifully marked male in the early part of the month. I was also fortunate in securing male and female speci- mens of the Three-'l`oed Arctic \\'oodpecker. They have beautiful glossy black baths, and the male has a bright golden yellow patch on the crown of the head. Mcllwraith says this is truly a northern bird. although resi- dent and common in Muskoltu district. It seldom even in winter comes as far south as the southern borders of Ontario. He says he killed one on a pine tree on the south shore of lmndas marsh, which is the only time he saw one alive. This bird belongs to a small group, the members of which have only three toes. Whether this is a special adaptation of the bird to its life among the pines is not apparent. but it seems quite as able to shift for itself. as its near relations with four toes. About the middle of the month l_was also able to get male and female specimens of the \\.'hite Winged Cross bill, which have appeared in goodly numbers. In its habits it resembles the American (`rose bill, but does not usual- ly appear in such large numbers. It often visits the same localities. searching for food among the pine cones. fhey vary much in plumage with age and sex, but can at all times be identified by the white bars on the wings. I have also been able to get some tine specimens of the Blue lay in excellent plumage with other of our loss noted winter irds. The female Arctic Woodpecker was shot near Stonness' Corners on the Perth Road. most of the other birds in the vicinity of Murvsle.-ULn E)ll0IA.\"I'. -several years in succession. I can ullan Winter Birds. KI.\'(:s1'o."J, Feb. . 9.-(I'o the Editor): With the approach of winter most of the birds which wended their way here in the spring and have pleased us with their guy plums , and enlivened the woods and clear- ings with their songs in the summer time, leave again for places further south, where U19! !nQrL.t.liegnsslves during the winter months ; still we have 5 few all the year round birds,,amoug others a few of several kinds of woodpeckers, creepers, tits, blue jays, etc., who remain with us during the winter, and while so many go south is good l_v number, whose summer homes are farther north, come this way during early winter, some of which may be termed regular, and others only occasional or rare visitors. Al- though the past month, January, has been very mild we have not been nithuut the presence of some of those occasional visi- tors. The Pine Grossbeak has been rather plentiful in some localities, and l was able to procure some good specimens, male and female, early in the month.` Mrllwraith, invhis f`l3irds of Ontario, says : In South` ern Ontario. the Pine Grossbealr is an irre- gular visitor, sometimes appearing in large lldcks and again being entirely absent for In the winters of i882 S3 and i883 84 they were quite com- mon where their favorite red cedar or moun- min ash berries were to be found. They are tine, plump birds, sociable in disposition. The females or young males are clad in a uniform of smoky gray, more or less tinged with greenish yellow, but the adult male have a showy crimson dress. which, when seen with a background of Norway spruce, forms a most attractive object at the season of the year when the tide of bird life is at its ebb. r|~;_, _v__,,, n .- I u.U.M.
