BIRDS OF THE PACIFIC DISTRICT. 135 



in Calaveras County, as I have seen a very few in the 

 fir forests in breeding time. 



Ridgway. None seen until towards the last of August 

 when they gradually became common in the Humboldt 

 Mountains. August 12 a male, leucoptera probably, seen 

 on the east slope of the Ruby Mountains. 



Newberry. A constant feature of the pine forests of 

 Oregon and northern California. 



Henshaw, 1879. Becomes numerous in the mount- 

 ains and on the foothills in fall. 



Camp Harney. Bendire. Common during the win- 

 ter months in large flocks. 



148. Leucosticte tephrocotis Swains. GRAY -CROWNED 

 LEUCOSTICTE. 



Camp Harney. Bendire. A winter visitor, associated 

 with L. littoralis from November 8, 1875, to March 22, 

 1876. Specimens at different times. 



149. Leucosticte tephrocotis littoralis (Baird). HEP- 

 BURN'S LEUCOSTICTE. 



Burrard Inlet. John Fannin. I shot two here No- 

 vember 14. This is the first time I ever saw these birds 

 at sea level. Common summer resident in British Co- 

 lumbia east of the Cascades. 



Camp Harney. Bendire (Birds Southeastern Ore- 

 gon). I have observed these birds almost daily for two 

 winters, and examined about two hundred specimens. 

 It is probable that some breed on high peaks. 



Virginia City. Ridgway. A single flock of this spe- 

 cies was seen on the 5th of January. The flock com- 

 prised about fifty individuals. 



150. Acanthis linaria (Linn.) REDPOLL. 



British Columbia. John Fannin. Breed north; re- 

 main here late in fall, etc.
