31. Passerculus sandwichenses savanna (Wilson). 

 Savanna Sparrow. 



Six adults of both sexes from Nicholsville, Hobley Hills, Port au 

 Port, and Lewis Hills, July 26th to August 19th. 



These six specimens average somewhat darker than breeding birds 

 from New England. The spotting of the ventral surface is richer 

 and darker, the dorsal centers of the feathers are blacker. Labrador 

 birds show similar peculiarities, but it is not apparent that these 

 differences are a constant feature. If the Newfoundland birds should 

 be found to have some constant difference from New England birds, 

 they will have to receive the name P. s. labradorwn Howe. 



32. ZoNOTRiCHiA leucophrys leucophrys (J. R. Forster). 



White-crowned Sparrow. 



One immature male. Spruce Brook, September 15, 1915. 

 This specimen was the only White-crowned Sparrow observed 

 throughout the trip. It was apparently a migrant.

33. ZoNOTRiCHiA ALBicoLLis (Gmelin). 



White-throated Sparrow. 



Seven adults of both sexes from Deer Lake, June 26th to July 1st. 

 The White-throated Sparrow was seen in nearly all the lowlands 

 visited. It is replaced on the high barren lands by the Savanna 

 Sparrow. Both Sparrows breed commonly. 



34. JuNCO hyemalis hyemalis (Linne). 

 Junco. 



Three adults and three immatures of both sexes from Nicholsville, 

 Port au Port, and Spruce Brook, July 5th to September 18th. 



The Junco like many other Newfoundland birds shows a tendency 

 towards darkness. This is especially noticeable in young birds which
