34 COUES, BIRDS OF NEW ENGLAND. 



I do not think that this supposed species is perma- 

 nently distinct from the preceding. 



No. 104. Great Bear Lake, Arctic xVnieriCa. From the Chicago 

 Academy of Sciences, 1864. 



Pooecetes gramineus Baird. — Bay-winged Bunting. 

 Grass Finch. Abundant summer resident. 



No. 398, adult. Essex Co. F. W. Putuam, 1856. 



Ooturiiiculus jicisserinus Bon. — Yellow- winged Spar- 

 row. Summer resident. Abundant, becoming less com- 

 mon in more northern sections. (" Fringilla savanna- 

 rum?" Peab., p. 324.) 



Coturniculus Hensloioii Bon. — Henslow's Sparrow. 

 Summer resident, and very rare ; not recorded north of 

 Massachusetts. (Springfield, Mass., AIL, p. 71. Lynn, 

 Mass., Sam., p. 9. Berlin, Mass., E. S. Wheeler, Proc. 

 B. S. N. H. vii, p. 137.) 



Zonotrichia leucophrys Swainson. — White-crowned 



Sparrow. Cliiefly spring and autumn migrant. Not 



known to breed, though doubtless it does so ; and some 



probably winter. Usually common, but of somewhat 



irregular occurrence. 



No. 107. Chicago, 111., R. Keunicott, May. From the Chicago 

 Academy of Sciences, 1864. 



Zonotrichia albicoUis Bon. — White-throated SpaiTow. 

 Chiefly spring and autumn migrant, though many breed, 

 especially in more northern sections. Abundant. Few, 

 if any, remain through the winter. 



No. 397, $. Essex Co. S. Jillson, 1856. 



A.mmodromus maritimus Swains. — Sea-side Finch. 

 Common summer resident as far north as New Hampshire, 

 where I have found it abundant. Not recorded from 

 Maine. It is chiefly a coast species. 



Ammodromus caudacutus Swains. — Sharp-tailed Finch. 

 Distribution much the same as that of the preceding. 



Junco hyemalis Sclater. — Snow Bird. Abundant. 

 Resident. Chiefly spring and autumn migrant ; but breeds 

 plentifully^ in Maine. Also breeds, but much more spar- 

 ingly, towards the southern limits, where some also re- 

 main all winter. 



No. 422, J". Essex Co. S. Jillson, 1858.
