 ties, but rather locally dis- 

 tributed. 



Leconte's Sparrow.

 breeding in N. E. 111., but

Harris's Sparrow. T.V. 



Irregular visitor from far- 

 ther west. Records fairly 

 numerous, and more regu- 

 lar in recent years.

 extreme Northern Illinois, 

 as it is known to be a cas- 

 ual S. R. in Southern Wis- 

 consin, and according to 

 Kumlein and Hollister, has 

 nested near Madison. Dr. 

 Hoy also reports a few 

 nesting near Racine.
