Hab. — Northern North America, south in winter to Massachusetts (to New Jersey, 

 Turnbnll), Illinois {Eidyway), aud California. Var. lapjjonicum from corresponding lat- 

 itudes in the Old World. 



AUlioagh this species was not noticed by the Expeditions, it is intro- 

 duced as one undoubtedly occurring in the Missouri region iu winter. 

 Dr. Cooper states that it is " common" iu the dense spruce forests of 

 the Columbia, and probably resident in that latitude. According- to 

 Dr. Newberry, j)roofs of its occurrence even to the Sacramento Valley 

 have been obtained. It is given in Mr. Wheaton's Ohio list, and has 

 frequently occurred iu New England as far south as Massachusetts. 

 Dr. Turnbuirs notice extends the record to New Jersey, Mr. Kidgway's 

 to Illinois. It is said by Dr. Hatch to be very common in Minnesota.
