334 LLOYD'S NATURAL HISTOkY. 



Range in Great Britain. — Mr. Cordeaux his recorded a specimen 

 of this white-ramped Redpoll from the Humber district, and 

 two specimens arc in Dr. Bendelack Hewetson's collection from 

 Easington in Yorkshire, where they were obtained in October, 

 18S3, and October, 1S93 One of these has been figured by 

 Lord Lilford in his beautiful work on British Birds. I have 

 also seen a specimen caught near Tring, in the Hon. Walter 

 Rothschild's collection. There can be little doubt th it the 

 species occurs more frequently in G'eat Britain than is supposed, 

 but is confounded with the Mealy Redpoll. 



Range outside the British Islands. — This species has an extensive 

 range, occurring from Northern Scandinavia across Siberia, 

 and throughout Arctic America.
