84. Colurniculus passeriniis. Yellow- winged Sparrow. Com.; 

 res. ; most numerous during the migr. 



85. C. Hendowi. Henslow's Sparrow. Rare; res.? "win." (G.) 

 The known range of this rather Southern species has been recently 

 extended by its record in New England. 



86. Aramodramus caudacutus. Sharp-tailed Finch. 



87. A. maritimus. Sea-side Finch. 



Prof. Gibbes gives these two species as resident. They are proba- 

 bly confined to the immediate vicinity of the coast, and are more 

 numerous in winter than in summer, as they scatter along our shores 

 to New England during the breeding season. "^1. MacgilUvrat/i'' 

 No. 110 of Prof Gibbes' list, is now well known to be the young of 

 maritimus. 



88. ZonotricMa leucophrys. ^Vhite-crowned Sparrow. Not ab. ; 

 win. ; Oct. through part of Apr. I believe that most individuals of 

 this species do not come quite so far south to pass the winter. Its 

 migrations appear less regular and well defined than those of the fol- 

 lowing species. The birds probably scatter indiscriminately over the 

 gi'eater part of the Atlantic States in winter; at least, I know of no 

 special localities that are indicated, by the abundance of the species, 

 as the favorite winter quarters of the great number that breed in 

 Labrador, etc. 



89. Z. alhicollis. White-throated Sparrow. Very ab. ; win.; 

 Oct., through most of Apr. These birds sing more or less all winter; 

 and for a month before they leave in spring, the woods and fields are 

 vocal with their mellow music. Many hundreds pass the month of 

 March, and part of April, in the gardens in the city of Cohimbia; 

 during the winter the birds mostly reside in thickets and fields, in 

 company with several other species. 



90. Junco liyemalis. Snowbird. Very com., though rather less 

 ab. than in localities fiirther N. ; arrives latter part of Oct. (the time 

 varying somewhat, according to weather), and remains until Apr.; 

 stragglers may be seen through part of this month. 



91. Spizella raonticola. Tree Sparrow. Win.; Nov. — Mch. ; not 

 common, as the greater number winter in the Middle States, Mary- 

 land, Vii-ginia, etc., and some as far north as New England. 



92. S. socialis. Chipping Sparrow. Res. ; but the numbers that 

 breed are Insignificant compared with those that win. from Oct. to 

 Apr. They begin to flock upon their arrival, and remain in com-
