65. Loxia leucoptcra. — White-winged Crossbill. 



See Auk. 1904. p. 281. 



72. Passcrculus sandwichcnsis savanna. — Savanna Spar- 

 row. 



As recorded by Taverner (Auk, 1905, 89) we found a small 

 colony breeding in Clay Tp.. southern St. Clair Co., June 18. 

 1904. We visited this colony at different times during the 

 summer, as I had no prior knowledge of the breeding of this 

 species in this section. During 1905, on June 10th. Mr. W. 

 E. Saunders and I found the birds well distributed in the 

 higher parts of the wet meadows bordering Lake St. Clair 

 in Essex Co., Ontario, which is almost directly across the lake 

 from the Clay Tp. region. 



74. Ammodramv.s henslowi. — Henslow's Sparrow. 



To my former notes in Auk, 1905, 83, I can add the follow- 

 ing: During' 1905. the first birds were ncted April 30, in 

 Clay Tp., St. Clair Co. On May 3d, Mr. Taverner heard one 

 singing in Greenfield Tp.. Wayne Co. On May 21 he located 

 a small colony in southern St. Clair Co. in a different localit\ 

 from that cf last year. See J. C. Wood, Auk, 1905, 416. On 

 June 10 Mr. W. E. Saunders and I found the species present. 

 in three separate localities on the Canada side of Lake St. 

 Clair, in Essex Co., Ontario. Here are extensive tracts of 

 wet grassy meadoWs. weed grown, on the higher portions o* 

 which henslowi is at home. In the limited amount of thro at 

 our disposal we were unable to locate any nests despite careful 

 search by Mr. Saunders. The steady rain which fell through- 

 out the day added greatly to our troubles. This sparrow evi- 

 dently is well distributed in small colonies along both sides of 

 J^ake St. Clair, and also in a few suitable sections in Wayne L\k 



73. Coturniculus savamiantm passerinus. — Gr?.ssh< pper 

 Sparrow. 



Careful search has revealed this sparrow in a number of 

 localities in Wayne, Oakland, Genesee and St. Clair Counties. 

 In 1903 the first were noted May 9th, in 1904. on May 14th, 

 and in 1905, May 3d. To date T have found the species only
