282 COUES, BIRDS OF NEW ENGLAND. 



I do not think that this supposed species is perma- 

 nently distinct from the preceding. 



No. 104. Great Bear Lake, Arctic America. From the Chicago 

 Academy of Sciences, 1864. 



Pomcetes gramineus Baird. — Bay-winged Bunting. 

 Grass Finch. Abundant summer resident. 



No. 398, adult. Essex Co. F. W. Putnam, 1856. 



Goturniculus passerinus Bon. — Yellow- winged Spar- 

 row. Summer resident. Abundant, becoming less com- 

 mon in more northern sections. (^"^ Fringilla savanna- 

 TumV Peab., p. 324.) 



Coturniculus Hensloivii Bon. — Henslow's Sparrow. 

 Summer resident, and very rare ; not recorded north of 

 Massachusetts. (Springfield, Mass., All., p. 71. Lynn, 

 Mass., 8am., p. 9. Berlin, Mass., E. S. Wheeler, Proc. 

 B. S. N. H. vii, p. 137.) 



Zonotrichia leucophrys Swainson. — White-crowned 



Sparrow. Chiefly spring and autumn migrant. Not 



known to breed, though doubtless it does so ; and some 



probably winter. Usually common, but of somewhat 



irregular occurrence. 



No. 107. Chicago, 111., E. Kennicott, May. From the Chicago 

 Academy of Sciences, 1864. 



Zonotrichia alhicoUis Bon. — White-throated Sparrow. 

 Chiefly spring and autumn migrant, though many breed, 

 especially in more northern sections. Abundant. Few, 

 if any, remain through the winter. 



No. 397, $. Essex Co. S. Jillson, 1856. 



A.mmod7'omus maritimus Swains. — Sea-side Finch. 

 Common summer resident as far north as New Hampshire, 

 where I have found it abundant. Not recorded from 

 Maine. It is chiefly a coast species. 



A-mmodromus caudacutus Swains. — Sharp-tailed Finch. 

 Distribution much the same as that of the preceding. 



Junco hyemalis Sclater. — Snow Bird. Abundant. 

 Resident. Chiefly spring and autumn migrant ; but breeds 

 plentifully in Maine. Also breeds, but much more spar- 

 ingly, towards the southern limits, where some also re- 

 main all winter. 



No. 422, $. Essex Co. S. Jillson, 1858.
