334 LLOYD'S NATURAL HISTORY. 



Range in Great Britain. Mr. Cordeaux has recorded a specimen 

 of this white-rumped Redpoll from the Humber district, an i 

 two specimens are in Dr. Bendelack Hewetson's collection from 

 Easington in Yorkshire, where they were obtained in October, 

 1883, and October, 1893 On- of these has been figured by 

 Lord Lilford in his beautiful work on British Birds I have 

 also seen a specimen caught near Tring, in the Hon. Walter 

 Rothschild's collection. There can be little doubt thit the 

 species occurs more frequently in Gieat Britain than is supposed, 

 but is confounded with the Mealy Redpoll. 



Range outside the British Islands. This species has an extensive 

 range, occurring from Noithern Scandinavia across Siberia, 

 and throughout Arctic America.
