Labrador; none to be seen from May 15th to September 1st of 
each year. (Packard.) This species is not uncommon in eastern 
Quebec, mixed up in the flocks of A. linarta. (Dionne.) One speci- 
men taken at Moose Factory, James bay, is in the National Museum 
at Washington. (E. A. Preble.) 
A specimen taken by Mr. Kay at Port Sydney, Muskoka district, 
on April 14th, 1890, was identified at Washington as this subspecies. 
(J. H. Fleming.) Three specimens, one male, taken March 3rd, 
and a male and female taken March 15th, 1888, at Lorne park, near 
Toronto, Ont., were determined to be this form by Mr. Ridgway. 
(E. T. Seton in Trans. Can. Inst., III., 1892, p. 64.) This species 
is quite regularly taken among the visiting redpolls in Manitoba. 
(Atkinson.) One specimen of this race was taken on the Kowak 
river, April roth, 1899. (Grinnell.) Breeding on Herschell island 
and other Arctic islands. (Rzdgway.)

Acanthis linaria rostrata (COUES) STEIN. 1884. 
Said to breed generally throughout Greenland, suitable localities 
being of course understood, but is migratory there. (Arct. Man.) A 
specimen of what seems to be this species was taken by Mr. A. P. 
Low off the Labrador coast. (Rev. G. Exfrig.) Occasionally met 
with in New Brunswick. (Chamberlain.) Among a number of 
redpolls from Parry Sound district examined by Mr. Ridgway were 
specimens intermediate between this species and A. linaria. I have, 
however, seen typical specimens from Muskoka; occurs in Toronto 
regularly in flocks of A. linaria. (J. H., Fleming.) Among a num- 
ber of redpolls sent to Washington for determination by Mr. Ridg- 
way is a young male taken at Toronto by Mr. Cross on February 
roth, 1890, and an adult female taken at Lorne park, November 
oth, 1899, which were pronounced the greater redpoll. ( E. T. Seton 
in Trans. Can. Inst., III., 1892, p. 64.) Very rare at Aweme, Man. 
(Criddle.) A few specimens have been taken at Portage la Prairie 
from among large mixed flocks of redpolls. (Atkinson.) 
BREEDING NoTES.—A few pairs breed in northern Labrador,
