29. PASSERCULUS SAVANNA, (Wils.) Bp. 
(SAVANNA SPARROW.) 
An abundant species. It was very common at House 
Harbor, where I procured a fine series of specimens. 
Breeds. 
30. POOECETES GRAMINEUS, (Gm.) Bad. 
(BAY-WINGED BUNTING.) 
A rather common species, but not nearly as numerous 
as the last. 
Probably breeds. 
31. MELOSPIZA PALUSTRIS, (Wils.) Bad. 
(SWAMP SPARROW ) 
I believe it to be common, although only four specimens 
were obtained; but this would be accounted for by their 
retiring habits. I have often nearly stepped upon them 
before they would take to flight. 
Breeds.
