Four of the specimens were obtained at Hooniah on Chichagof 
Island, and four on Admiralty Island. On the latter island, at 
Windfall Harbor, this species was found in flocks in company 
with the Sitka crossbill, but was not so common as the latter. 
Several pairs of white-winged crossbills were seen in June in the 
alders margining the lakes back of Mole Harbor, and along Has- 
selbore River a flock was seen June 13. 
Leucosticte tephrocotis littoralis Baird. 
Hepburn Leucosticte. 
Dixon records that at Hooniah, Chichagof Island, June 21 
to 27, ‘‘several leucostictes were seen around the lower end of 
the melting snow slides, and the rock slides near the summit of 
the mountain, 2500 feet altitude. Hasselbore shot one with his 
bear gun, June 23, and brought back the head which was all 
there was left of the bird. Three of us hunted for them a good 
half-day. I saw several and had two good shots at one but did 
not get him for some unaccountable reason.’’ 
The head (No. 50) was all of the specimen obtained. This 
is sufficient, however, to show it to belong to the race littoralis; 
for the ashy extends continuously down the sides of the head to 
inelude the malar region, and the bill is intermediate in size 
between that of tephrocotis and griseonucha. This record indi- 
cates a probable breeding station for the species. 
Spinus pinus pinus (Wilson). Pine Siskin. 
On Admiralty Island this species was pronounced by Dixon 
to be more numerous than any other land bird; this was so at 
least at Windfall Harbor. Stephens records that at this point 
a female shot April 19 appeared to have already inenbated. At 
Mole Harbor and around the lakes near there, many siskins were 
noted. On June 12, about half-way down Hasselbore River, 
Dixon saw a very large flock, probably over two hundred. At 
Hooniah, Chichagof Island, June 21 to 27, siskins were abund- 
ant, and many families were seen. At Port Frederick, July 25 
to August 1, but one family was observed. At Coppermine Cove, 
Glacier Bay, a lone individual was noted, the only one seen in 
that region.
