I should like to make one addition to my list of birds of northwestern Montana, published in the last CONDOR. Through my habit of omitting the English Sparrow from most of my bird notes, I find that I neglected to mention it in the manuscript. Not wishing to convey the impression that any county in Montana is free from this bird, I hereby supply the proper information, as follows.

Passer domesticus. English Sparrow. Abundant in all towns along the railroads in both Teton and Lewis and Clark counties. Small flocks also occurred in Choteau, Bynum and Augusta before these towns had railroad connections. Railroads have been built to all of these towns very recently (1913), and it is probable that the species will greatly increase in the near future.
