Spinus psaltria (1) Grinnell, Auk, xv, 1898, p. 235. (2) Mailliard, Bull. Cooper Orn. 
Club, 1, 1899, p. 42. 
Astragalinus psaltria (8) Mailliard, Bull. Cooper Orn. Club, 1, 1899, p. 45. 
Astragalinus psaltria hesperophilus (4) Richardson, Condor, x, 1908, p. 67. (5) Linton, 
Condor, x, 1908, p. 128. (6) Grinnell, Pac. Coast Avif., 11, 1915, p. 110. 
Rather rare on the islands. I have noted a limited number of these birds 
on Catalina several times during the early spring of different years, and J. Grin- 
nell (7) saw three pairs there the last of December, 1897. J. Mailliard (2, 3) re- 
corded the species from Santa Cruz Island in April, 1898, and C. B. Linton (5) 
saw several and shot one during November, 1907, in the same locality. From 
the above dates one cannot be sure that this bird breeds on the islands, but I 
think it likely that it is resident where found at all. 
133. Astragalinus lawrencei (Cassin) 
LAWRENCE GOLDFINCH 
Spinus lawrencei (1) Mailliard, Bull. Cooper Orn. Club, 1, 1899, p. 42. 
Astragalinus lawrencei (2) Mailliard, Bull. Cooper Orn. Club, 1, 1899, p. 45. (3) Rich- 
ardson, Condor, x, 1908, p. 67. (4) Grinnell, Pac. Coast Avif., 11, 1915, p. 110. 
Occurs in about the same numbers as the last. I noted a pair of these birds 
among the eucalypti of Avalon, Catalina Island, May 4, 1908, and C. H. Riechard- 
son (3) states that he has seen the species there several times during the same 
month. J. Mailliard (7, 2) reports it as present on Santa Cruz Island in April, 
1898, and W. L. Dawson (MS) saw it several times near the ranch house there 
during April, 1915. 
134. Spinus pinus ( Wilson) 
PINE SISKIN 
Spinus pinus pinus (1) Dawson, Condor, xvi, 1915, p. 204. 
While on Santa Cruz Island from April 3 to 22, 1915, W. L. Dawson (1) 
several times encountered this species in the Monterey pine belt. 
135. Passerculus sandwichensis alaudinus Bonaparte 
WESTERN SAVANNAH SPARROW 
Ammodramus sandwichensis alaudinus (1) Townsend, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., x11, 1890, 
p. 141. (2) Keeler, Zoe, 1, 1891, p. 341. (3) Grinnell, Pasadena Acad. Sci., 1, 1897, 
p. 17. (4) Linton, Condor, x, 1908, p. 128. 
Passerculus sandwichensis alaudinus (5) Mearns, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., ivr, 1907, p. 142. 
(6) Linton, Condor, x1, 1909, p. 194. (7) Willett, Pac. Coast Avif., 7, 1912, p. 77. (8) 
Grinnell, Pac. Coast Avif., 11, 1915, p. 113. 
Ammodramus sandwichensis bryanti (9) Linton, Condor, x, 1908, p. 128. 
Probably a regular though not common migrant to suitable localities. J. 
Grinnell (3) shot one bird and saw several others along the grassy margin of a 
slough at the mouth of a canyon on San Clemente, March 30, 1897; C. B. Linton
