interior of Alaska. The amount of white on the wings appears 
to be the same, and the intensity of coloration in ‘the former is 
equalled in selected individuals in the latter. 
The white-winged crossbill was seen by various members of 
the party on Hawkins Island, in flocks of twenty to fifty. One 
flock was observed by Heller feeding on grubs in the hemlocks. 
On Hinchinbrook Island several noisy flocks came to notice, 
usually in the tops of spruces. One flock was seen by Miss 
Kelloge at Hanning Bay, Montague Island, July 27, this bemeg 
the only other record station for the species. 
Leucosticte tephrocotis littoralis Baird. Hepburn Rosy Finch. 
This species, so rarely met with in summer, was found only 
in the aretie zone on or near the summits of the highest moun- 
tains on Hinchinbrook and Montague islands. Miss Alexander 
and Miss Kelloge saw one on a bare mountain top on the former 
island, June 29, and Hasselborg shot one at 2000 feet altitude 
near the same place. 
On July 7 Dixon and Hasselborg located a pair or more at 
about 2200 feet altitude on a mountain near Zaikof Bay, Mon- 
tague Island. The birds stayed around the misty, wind-swept 
cliffs, where they were difficult to see, and more so to stalk. 
On July 9, on the same mountain, Hasselborg succeeded in ob- 
taining his second specimen. 
The following are the measurements of the two specimens 
secured : 
Wing Tail Culmen 
1529 ie) Hinchinbrook Id. June 29 101.0 67.8 12.2 
1530 i) Montague Id. July 9 101.5 68.1 eS) 
The one from Montague Island is deepest-toned of the two, 
in its body coloration, being quite as deeply colored as in ex- 
amples at hand of ZL. ¢t. griseonucha. It is, however, no darker 
than a specimen of littoralis at hand from Mount Baker, Wash- 
ington, and the size is the same, that is, much less than that of 
griseonucha. In the Montague specimen the ashy color of the 
head not only invades the chin, but scattering ash-colored feath- 
ers appear well back on the fore chest.
