PASSERCULUS SANDWICHENSIS, Baird.

Unalascha Bunting, Pennant, Arctic Zool. II, 363, 320, No. 229. (Not of p. 364, No. 233.) 
Sp. Cu.—Almost exactly like P. savanna, but half an inch larger, with much larger bill. Length, 612 inches: wing, 3.00 ; 
tail, 2 55. 
Hab.—Northwestern coast from the Columbia river to Russian America. 
This species is extremely similar to the P. savanna, and is qnly distinguishable by its greater 
size, and more western locality. The tail feathers also are rather more acutely pointed. There 
is also a greenish yellow shade on the top and sides of the head, brighter than that seen in P. 
savanna. The bill is considerably larger and longer, measuring .51 of an inch above instead 
of .44. 
The Sandwich Bunting of Latham (Synopsis of birds) and the Unalascha Bunting of 
Pennant (page 363, No. 229) seem to belong unquestionably to this species, and as Gmelin 
bases his sandwichensis upon these descriptions, it must be retained. The name has no refer- 
ence to the Sandwich Islands but to Sandwich Sound, on the northwest coast. The Unalascha 
Bunting of Pennant, page 364, No. 233, is a different species. 
The ‘‘temporibus atris’’ is not a very accurate expression in the species, but sufficiently near 
not to be inconsistent with it. At any rate, as the descriptions of sandwichensis, arctica, and 
chrysops, all seem to apply equally well, it will be best to take the oldest name as a provisional 
one at least.
