Total, 36 species, about 475 individuals.—Walter K. Fisher. An Additional December Record On December 13, 1900, I noticed a Wood Pewee trying to find abreakfast among the apple trees on Glen Island. He was alone, andalthough active in his search—apparentlj^ taking insect eggs from the barklike a Chickadee—he had very little to say for himself, a single short chirpbeing his only note. It was bitter cold outdoors and there is very littleshelter for the little fellow here. How he finds enough food adapted to hismode of hunting is a puzzle.—L. M. McCormick, Glen Island, Neiv Rochelle, N. What Bird is this .^ Field Description.—henzlh, in. Upper parts streaked with blaclc, buff and grayish; under parts white,streaked with blaek; yellow at the base of wings and tail, showing in flight. Spring Range—From Gulf Statesnorthward. Note—Each number of Bird-Lore will contain a photograph, from specimens inthe American Museum of Natural History, of some widely distributed, but, in the easternUnited States, at least, little-known bird, the name of which will be withheld until thesucceeding number of the magazine, it being believed that this method of arousing thestudents curiosity will result in impressing the birds characters on his mind far morestrongly than if its name were given with its picture. The species figured in December is the Lapland Longspur.
