NOTES ON THE SUMMER BIRDS OF THE UPPER 



ST. JOHN. 



BY CM ARISES F. RATCHEI.DER. 



{Concluded from page 1 1 1 .^ 



41. Carpodacus piirpureua ( G/«.) 5^. Purple Finch. — Common. 



42. Astragalinus tristis {Li?i7i.) Cab. Goldfinch. — Common. 

 Though somewhat beyond the limits of my subject, I quote the following 

 from Mr. McLeod's notes : "This winter [1876-77] they have been abun- 

 dant, although the season is very severe. I have seen them at this time 

 of year but once before." The Goldfinch has been supposed not to winter 

 north of Massachusetts.
