524. Leucosticte tephracotis Swainson—GRAY-CROWNED LEUCOSTICTE. 
An uncommon winter resident in northwestern Nebraska, and once 
recorded from Omaha by L. Skow, who knew it in the northwestern 
part of the state. Aughey records a specimen taken in June, 1865. 
The specimens examined, all from Sioux county, are typical tephra- 
cotis, but the Hepburn Leucosticte, 524a. L. t. littoralis (Baird), occu- 
pies much the same range in winter, and has been taken casually as far 
east as Minnesota, so may be reasonably expected within our limits. 
528. Acanthis linaria (Linnaeus) -REDPOLL. 
An irregular winter resident, in some seasons very abundant, gener- 
ally coming in large flocks anywhere between middle of October and 
April. Throughout the state. 
[528b. A.l. rostrata (Coues)—GREATER REppPoLL. A resident in Greenland 
and in winter straggling southward and westward. It has been re- 
corded from New York, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,and even Colorado,so 
we may get it also. The record in Bruner’s list, Trostler says was a 
misidentification for linaria. An examination of twenty specimens 
from this state shows all to be nearest linaria, though some are large 
enough for holbellii, but probably should be considered intermediates 
between linaria and rostrata.]| 
529. *Astragalinus tristis (Linnaeus) —GOLDFINCH. 
An abundant resident over the southeastern portion of the state, 
breeding from middle July to early September, remaining in flocks 
through the winter. 
529a. Astragalinus tristis pallidus Mearns—WESTERN GOLDFINCH. 
Sioux county—a single specimen, May 16, 1901; also found along 
the Niobrara, summer of 1902, and probably the prevailing form in 
the northern and western portions of the state. No doubt breeds. 
Specimens identified by Oberholser. 
533. Spinus pinus (Wilson) —PINE SISKIN.
