225. Ammodramus leconteii And. Lc Conic* 



A winter resident. I have found it rather common on 

 Avery's Island during- January. 



22G. Ammodramus caudacutus Gmel. Sharp-lailcd Sparrow. 



Common in the salt-marshes of the coast. I have found 

 it quite common on the so-called "floating- prairies" of Lake 

 Pontcharti ain . 



227- Ammodramus maritimus Wils. Seaside Span-on-. 



Very common on the coast, especially in the salt-marshes? 

 and oil the borders of the lakes. 



228. Chondestes grammacus Say. Lark Finch. 



Although rather more of a western prairie form, this spe- 

 cies has been found quite common in several parts of the state, 

 and is a fairly regular breeder. It has been obtained in Madi- 

 son and Plaquemine parishes . 



229. Zonotrichia leucophrys Forst. White-crowned Sparrow. 



While this species is a regular winter resident in Louisi- 

 ana, it cannot be regarded as very common . 



230. Zonotrichia albicollis Gmel. Whi1c-thro<iled Sparrow. 



A much more abundant winter resident than the preceding 

 species. 



231. Spizella socialis Wils. Chippiitf/ Sparrow. 

 Eesident in the pine-woods; abundant in winter. 



232. Spizella pusilla Wils. Field Sparrow. 



A common winter resident; chiefly in the pine- woods. 



233. Junco hy emalis Linu. Junco} Slate-colored Snow-bird; 



A regular, but not common winter resident. Mr. Otto 

 Wideman reported it to me from Mandeville on March 2, 1897. 



234. Peucaea aestivalis bachmanii And. l>aclnnan\^ Sparrow. 



This species, although not uncommon in the pine-woods, 

 seems to select its habitat with more care than any other spe- 

 cies of sparrow that I know of. I have always noticed that in 

 any given locality, of apparently similar characteristics, only 

 one or more parts would be tenanted by Bachman's Sparrow. 

 It breeds wherever it occurs. 



235. flelospiza fasciata Gmel. Sony Sparrow. 



A winter resident in the pine-woods, but chiefly a migrant. 



236. Helospiza georgiana Lath. Swamp Sparrow. 



An abundant winter resident throughout the state, stay- 

 ing late into spring (May 3, 181)8).
