406 BULLETIN: MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 
Carpodacus erythrina grebnitsku Stejn. was described from two very - 
brightly colored males. The three males from Copper Island are not 
unusually bright red; indeed a majority of the specimens (Coll. 
M. C.Z.) from India and western Szechwan taken in the spring and 
early summer are more intense red than these Copper Island males. 
Hartert (Vogel der Palaarktischen fauna) doubted the validity of 
grebnitskii and from a study of our material I think his doubt well 
founded. 
LOXIA CURVIROSTRA SITKENSIS Grinnell. 
SITKA CROSSBILL. 
Two males and three females were taken at Woewodsky Island, 
Alaska, on April 9, 1913, and a female at Kupreanof Island, April 10, 
1913. 
Examination of this series and other specimens in the M. C. Z. from 
the same general locality leads me to believe that sitkensis of Grinnell 
is a tenable subspecies, and I refer our series to this form. | 
Though I have no red specimens, those in “immature” plumage 
are rather more yellow than birds from the east, and all average notice- 
ably smaller. 
LoxIA LEUCOPTERA Gmelin. 
WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILL. 
A male, the only one seen, was taken at Point Gustavus, Glacier 
Bay, Alaska, April 11, 1913. 
PYRRHULA PYRRHULA KAMTSCHATICA (Taczanowski). 
KAMCHATKAN BULLFINCH. 
Our collection contains a male and female of this species taken at 
Copper Island, May 21 and 25, —. 
EMBERIZA PALLASI (Cabanis). 
A single female taken at Copper Island, May 21, —, is in the col- 
lection.
