282 COUES, BIRDS OF NEW ENGLAND. 



I do not think that this supposed species is perma- 

 nently distinct from the preceding. 



No. 104. Great Bear Lake, Arctic America. From the Chicago 

 Academy of Sciences, 1864. 



Pooecetes gramineus Baird. Bay-winged Bunting. 

 Grass Finch. Abundant summer resident. 



No. 398, adult. Essex Co. F. W. Putnam, 1856. 



Coturniculus passerinus Bon. Yellow-winged Spar- 

 row. Summer resident. Abundant, becoming less com- 

 mon in more northern sections. (^Fringilla savanna- 

 rum?" Peab., p. 324.) 



Coturniculus Henslowii Bon. Henslow's Sparrow. 

 Summer resident, and very rare ; not recorded north of 

 Massachusetts. (Springfield, Mass., A II. , p. 71. Lynn, 

 Mass., 8am., p. 9. Berlin, Mass., E. S. Wheeler, Proc. 

 B. S. N. H. vii, p. 137.) 



Zonotrichia leucophrys Swainson. White-crowned 

 Sparrow. Chiefly spring and autumn migrant. Not 

 known 'to breed, though doubtless it does so; and some 

 probably winter. Usually common, but of somewhat 

 irregular occurrence. 



No. 107. Chicago, 111., E. Kennicott, May. From the Chicago 

 Academy of Sciences, 1864. 



Zonotrichia albicollis Bon. White-throated Sparrow. 

 Chiefly spring and autumn migrant, though many breed, 

 especially in more northern sections. Abundant. Few, 

 if any, remain through the winter. 



No. 397, $. Essex Co. S. Jillson, 1856. 



Ammodromus maritimus Swains. Sea-side Finch. 

 Common summer resident as far north as New Hampshire, 

 where I have found it abundant. Not recorded from 

 Maine. It is chiefly a coast species. 



Ammodromus caudacutus Swains. Sharp-tailed Finch. 

 Distribution much the same as that of the preceding. 



Junco hyemalis Sclater. Snow Bird. Abundant. 

 Resident. Chiefly spring and autumn migrant ; but breeds 

 plentifully in Maine. Also breeds, but much more spar- 

 ingly, towards the southern limits, where some also re- 

 main all winter. 



No. 422, $. Essex Co. S. Jillson, 1858.
