A NATURALIST IN THE MAGDALEN ISLANDS. 



26 LOXIA CURVIROSTRA var. AMERICANA, (Wits.) Cs. 

 (COMMON CROSSBILL.) 



Abundant, and very tame in the woods near House Har- 

 bor. I also procured a specimen on Byron Island. 

 Breeds. 



27. &GEOTHUS LIN ARIA, (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 ALgeothus linaria. 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.
