42 A NATURALIST IN THE MAGDALEN ISLANDS. 
26 LOXIA CURVIROSTRA var. AMERICANA, (Wils.) Cs. 
(COMMON CROSSBILL.) 
Abundant, and very tame in the woods near House Har- 
bor. I also procured a specimen on Byron Island. 
Breeds. 
27. 4SGEOTHUS LINARIA, (L) Cab. 
(RED-POLL LINNET.) 
I include the present species with great hesitation. On 
August 3 a bird was brought to me, in a terribly mangled 
condition, which I believed to be “geothus hinaria. No 
others observed or taken. 
28. CHRYSOMITRIS PINUS, (Wils) Bp. 
(PINE LINNET.) 
A single specimen, taken July 30, which proved to be 
an adult male.
