582. Aleutian Song Sparrow. 
Melospiza cinerea (GMEL.) FinscH. 1872. 
Among the several insular forms occurring in the Aléutian 
Islands and rarely extending their range to the adjacent mainland 
of southeastern Alaska this large hardy bird, a veritable giant 
among its congeners, is the most peculiar. It is a_ resident 
throughout the Aleutian Islands and is limited to the rocky 
shores and low flats with its bordering beaches, never going far 
inland, nor does it reach any considerable altitude. Strangely 
enough it does not pass to the northward even as far as the Pryb- 
ilof Islands. To the eastward, however, it is abundant on the 
Shumagin Islands and Kadiak. (JVe/son.) This species is a con- 
stant resident of the Aleutian Islands, the peninsula of Aliaska 
and the adjacent islands lying on the south as far eastward as 
Cook’s Inlet. (Zurner.) Abundant at Unalaska, October 5th to 
7th, 1899, frequenting the roofs of buildings, lumber piles, wharves, 
beaches and weeds of the level country. (Szshop.) Ten speci- 
mens were taken at Sand Point, Popof Island, October 20th, Igo. 
This. sparrow is fairly common on Popof Island, where it is 
resident. (Chapman.)
