WYOMING BIrRDs. 61 
Astragalinus tristis pallidus: Pale Goldfinch. 
A fairly common summer resident along streams and 
brushy places at the lower altitudes. 
Astragalinus psaltria: Arkansas Goldfinch. 
“Probably very rare, if not accidental. The Wyoming rec- 
ord rests upon a single specimen taken by Bond at Chey- 
enne, May 26, 1889. Mir. Bond has the skin in his collec- 
tion.” (Knight.) 
Spinus pinus: Pine Siskin. 
Abundant summer resident in the foothills and mountains. 
Plectrophenax nivalis nivalis: Snow Bunting. 
Common winter resident on the plains with the Desert 
Horned Larks. 
Calcarius lappcnicus lapponicus: Lapland Longspur. 
There are skins in the University collection which were 
taken by Knight and verified by Ridgeway, but Knight 
failed to record this form in his bulletin. Specimens taken 
by Walker about Laramie in the spring of 1912 belong to 
the succeeding species. 
Calcarius lapponicus alascensis: Alaska Longspur. 
Peabody and Walker have taken specimens of this species. 
Lockwood’s. record is conditionally referred to this form, 
but may belong to the preceding. 
Calcarius ornatus: Chestnut-collared Longspur. 
Peabody and Percival record this and indicate that it is 
very common. Knight recorded that it was rare. Biolog- 
ical Survey collectors have found it to be fairly common 
summer resident in the northeastern portion of the state, 
and it is on this authority that the third edition of the A. 
O. U. check list records it. 
Rynchophanes mccowni: McCown’s Longspur. 
Abundant summer resident on the plains and southern por- 
tion of the state, and is reported by Metz from the north- 
ern part. 
Pooecetes gramineus confinis: Western Vesper Sparrow. 
Very abundant summer resident at all the lower altitudes 
over the entire state and occurs occasionally almost to 
timber line.
