On December 13, 1900. I noticed a Wood Pewee trying to find a breakfast among the apple trees on Glen Island. He was alone, and although active in his search — apparently taking insect eggs from the bark like a Chickadee — he had very little to say for himself, a single short chirp being his only note. It was bitter cold outdoors and there is very little shelter for the little fellow here. How he finds enough food adapted to his mode of hunting is a puzzle. —, Glen Island, NewRochelle, N. Y.

— Each number of will contain a photograph, from specimens in the American Museum of Natural History, of some widely distributed, but, in the eastern United States, at least, little-known bird, the name of which will be withheld until the succeeding number of the magazine, it being believed that this method of arousing the student's curiosity will result in impressing the bird's characters on his mind far more strongly than if its name were given with its picture.

The species figured in December is the Lapland Longspur.
