The Pine Grosbeak at Washington, D. C.
Since the matter on the preceding pages was put in type. we hair: received a number of interesting censuses which we should have been glad to print had they arrived in time for insertion in their proper places. \Ve must make room. however, for a record of the Pine Grosbeak at Wash- ington, D. C. (the most southern point from which the species has been recorded this season), by Mr. Thomas H. Levering. who writes that he satisfactorily identified three individuals of this species, a short distance outside the city limits, on November 26, 1903.
