ADDENDUM. — Through an oversight, the following .species, belonging to the Half-hardy group, 

 was omitted from the list, and the discovery not made until it was too late to introduce it in its proper 

 place. This makes the number of birds in that group eleven instead of ten, and the total winter bird list 

 eighty-six instead of eighty-five. 



*SLATE-COLORED JUNCO (Junco hyemalis hyemalis.) Tliis bird was formerly called the "Snow- 

 bird." It breeds commonly in northern Minnesota and while the bulk leave the state in winter, a con- 

 siderable number usually pass the cold season in sheltered places in the more southern counties, even 

 as far north as Hennepin county. During mild winters they are especially numerous, Ijut severe cold 

 sends all but a few of the most courageous further south. 



The Junco is six and a quarter inches in length, and may be known by the dark slate-colored upper 

 parts, head and breast, and the clear white under parts sharply contrasted with the slate across the 

 lower breast. The outer tail feathers show much white in flight. The bill is flesh-colored. The female 

 is paler and brownish above. There is usually much reddish brown in the winter plumage of both sexes.
