148 BisHop oz Birds of the Magdalen Islands. [April 
seen on Grindstone, June 23, and others heard singing on different 
occasions. 
37. Loxia curvirostra minor. AMERICAN CRossBILL.—Rare. A male 
seen on Grindstone, July 4. 
38. Loxia leucoptera. WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILL.—Common on 
Grindstone and Entry, and probably on the other islands. A pair of fully 
fledged young were taken on July 12. : 
39. Spinus pinus. PINE SiskIn.—One of the most abundant birds 
until July 10. They finish breeding before the first of July, and by the 
twelfth most of them have left the islands. 
40. Ammodramus sandwichensis savanna. SAVANNA SPARROW.— 
Very abundant, breeding in every open field on the islands, especially in 
the neighborhood of the shore. Most of the Savanna Sparrows taken 
wanted the yellow on the wing, but a careful search failed to reveal any 
specimens of A. priznceps. 
41. Zonotrichia albicollis. WuHirr-rHROATED SPARROW.—Common, 
nesting about the last of June. 
42. Spizella pusilla. FrrLp Sparrow.—A pair of this species in 
worn breeding plumage were taken on Entry Island July 8; they evidently 
had a nest in the immediate vicinity. This is, I believe, the most north- 
ern record of the breeding of this species on the Atlantic coast. 
43. Junco hyemalis. SLATE-coLORED JuNco.—Breeds, but seems to 
be rather irregularly distributed among the islands, being much more com- 
mon on some than on others. , 
44. Melospiza fasciata. SONG SpARROW.—Rather common summer 
resident. I found this species more abundant on the open hills, two hun- 
dred to three hundred and fifty feet above the sea, in the interior of 
Entry Island than anywhere else. 
45. Melospiza georgiana. Swamp SPpARROW.—Not as common as 
the last. A pair were found breeding ina small swamp on Grindstone 
July 14, and several others seen later. The male of the pair taken 
July 14, inclined to melanism in plumage and had a black spot .95 inch 
long by .45 broad on the right side of the breast. The female was an un- 
usually small specimen, the wing measuring 2.16 and the tail 2.28 inches. 
46. Passerella iliaca. Fox SpARRow.—Rather common, breeding on 
all the islands about the last of June. The nest is larger than that of any 
other Sparrow with which I am acquainted. 
47. Clivicola riparia. BANK SwaAttow.—Tolerably common, breed- 
ing on Grindstone. 
48. Mniotilta varia. BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER.—Rare. A male 
with the black of the throat almost uninterrupted was taken on Grindstone 
July 14, and a female observed on the 17th. Probably breeds. 
49. Dendroica estiva. YELLOW WaRBLER.—Common summer resi- 
dent. 
50. Dendroica coronata. MyrrLe WarRBLER.—Common summer resi- 
dent, nesting in the latter part of June. 
51. Dendroica maculosa. MaGNoLrA WARBLER.—Rare. A maletaken 
on Grindstone, July 16.
