82 NUKTH AMEKICAN FAUNA. [no.I'J. 



that of this species, was common on the Copper Kiver. He assured 

 me it was not the pine grosbealv, which he knew well.] 



[Pmicola enucleator alascensis. Alaska Pine Grosbeak. A red })ird 

 with dark wings — certainly not a crossbill — which I saw at Lake Mai'sh 

 July 8 was prol^ably a pine g-rosbeak, but we did not meet with any 

 others during our trip. I was told this bird occurs along the Porcu- 

 pine.] 



112. Loxia curvirostra minor. Red Crossbill. 



Osgood took a red crossbill and saw another at Unalaska October 5. 

 We did not take any along the Yukon, but I feel positive that a red 

 male crossbill which I shot at Lake Lebarge July 16, but could not 

 find, belonged to this species. 



113. Loxia leucoptera. White-winged Crossbill. 



Crossbills in flocks of from half a dozen to one hundred individuals 

 were often seen from Lower Lebarge to Charlie Village July 16 to 

 August 11. Most of these flocks were probably leucoptera^ and some 

 certainly were. They were exceedingly restless, and the only ones 

 taken (besides those found in the crop of a duck hawk), were three 

 young at Camp Davidson August 5-6. 



114. Leucosticte griseonucha. Aleutian Leucosticte. 



We saw a number of Aleutian leucostictes on St. George October 3. 

 At Unalaska I saw a flock of about twenty and another of two young 

 October 5, and secured an adult and one of the young. The latter is 

 in juvenile plumage, feathers of the first winter appearing only on the 

 sides of the chest. 



115. Leucosticte tephrocotis littoralis. Hepburn Leucosticte. 



We found this bird only at White Pass Summit, where Osgood took 

 two males and I one female June 13. It is doubtless this species of 

 Leucosticte to which Cantwell refers in his paper on the ' Birds of the 

 Yukon Trail.'' 



116. Acanthis hornemanni exilipes. Hoary Redpoll. 



I secured two young from a flock about 15 miles above Circle 

 August 13, and Osgood one from a flock at Circle August 19. I saw 

 several at the Aphoon mouth August 27, and we found them rather 

 common in small flocks at St. Michael during September. All taken 

 were young and were molting from juvenile to first winter plumage. 



117. Acanthis linaria. Redpoll. 



We saw several, usually in pairs and very shy, at Bennett June 17. 

 One stopped for an instant on a bush close to our tent. Near Charlie 

 Village I saw a male in high plumage August 11.
