About the year 1863, a friend who used to join me in some of my 
local collecting trips, was in the town of Galt, Ont., and seeing a 
small flock of large light-coloured redpolls, secured two of the lot and 
sent them to me in the flesh. (McIlwraitth.)

Acanthts hornemanniu exilipes (COUES) STEJN. 1884.

Chimo, where nests and eggs were obtained by Nelson. (Packard.) 
A small flock observed by me at Lansdowne, Ont., in March, 1897, 
feeding on the ground on hemlock seeds. (Rev. C. J. Young.) 
Specimens of this bird, taken by Mr. W. L. Scott in the spring of 
1883, were identified by Dr. Coues. It is also included in the list of 
atrivals for 1887 on March 19th. (Ottawa Naturalist, Vol. V.) 
Irregular winter resident at Toronto, Ont.; during the winter of 
1896 a flock of redpolls was observed at East Toronto; I secured 
nine specimens from what I was given to understand was the same 
flock. Mr. Ridgway identified them all as Acanthis exilipes. The 
specimens were taken in February and March, 1897. I have ex- 
amined a specimen taken by Mr. Kay at Port Sydney, Muskoka 
district. (J. H. Fleming.) One specimen killed out of a large flock 
of redpolls at Hamilton beach, Ont., by Mr. K. C. MclIlwraith on

birds appeared near London, Ont., in considerable number but have 
not been seen since that time. (W.E. Saunders.) Three specimens 
from York Factory and one from Fort Churchill, Hudson bay 
colleeted in July, 1900, are referable to this form. (E. A. Preble.)
