128 MEMOIRS OF THE NUTTALL ORXITHOLOGICAL CLUB 



264. Ammodramus savannarum australis Maynard. 



Yellow-winged Sparrow. 



The Grasshopper or Yellow-winged Sparrow spends the winter in 

 Cuba, and I strongly suspect that some individuals are resident. My 

 examples from eastern and western Cuba, however, cannot be separated 

 from this race. The local name of Chamberguito, the diminutive form of 

 the name used for the Bobolink, while in use in Gundlach's time, is never 

 heard now. 



265. Spizella passerina passerina (Bechstein). 

 Chipping Sparrow. 



There is only one record for the Chipping Sparrow, a female which 

 Gundlach shot on a fresh-water marsh near the sea, probably north of 

 La Fermina where he labored so fruitfully and for so many years. 



266. Zonotrichia leucophrys leucophrys (J. R. Forster). 

 White-crowned Sparrow. 



A record, the "White Crowned Sparrow in Cuba," was made by 

 Ramdsen in 1911 (Auk, vol. 28, p. 488, 1911). Cory while he was in Cuba 

 bought a partially albino Sparrow of this species, which was said to have 

 been trapped near Havana (Auk, vol. 9, p. 273, 1892). 



267. Tiaris olivacea olivacea (Linne). 

 Common Grassquit; Tomeguin de la Tierra. 



The little Common Grassquit is very common everywhere. Jaunty, 

 confiding and with a chirping, insect-like call, little bands may be seen
