etc., as do the Yellow-heads; they hang about streams as do 

 the Redwings ; they follow the cattle as do the Cowbirds ; and 

 in addition, they wade in the water as do Snipe. 



Bronzed Crackle (Quiscalns quiscula aeneiis). Several nested 

 near Reva in Slim in 1911.

 they fly about in flocks of twenty or thirty. 



Redpoll (Acanthis linaria linaria). Saunders reports having seen 

 a small flock of Redpolls in the \Yest Short Pines, Novem- 

 ber 6. 



Goldfinch (Astragaliniis tristis). Not uncommon during the 

 summer. 



Pine Siskin (Spin-its pinns). A small flock was seen early in 

 September. 



English Sparrow (Passer domesticns). Abundant in the only 

 large town, Camp Crook, even when there was no railroad 

 nearer than 80 miles. 



Snow Bunting (Plectrophena.v nivalis niz'alis). Flocks of Snow 

 Bunting were seen by Saunders during the last half of No-
