63. Carpodacus purpureus purpureus. Purple Finch. — 



In smaller numbers than usual except at Plainfield, 

 where it is locally common in winter. 



64. Passer domesticus domesticus. House Sparrow. — 



This pest is abundant everywhere. At Long Beach, 

 L. I., it is migratory in severe cold weather. 



65. Astragalinus tristis tristis. Goldfinch. — Abundant 



around Plainfield, but less common than usual else- 

 where. 



66. Carduelis carduelis. European Goldfinch. — This in- 



troduced species occurs in small flocks every winter 

 around Englewood. It has not been noticed in 

 summer for several years. 



67. Passerculus princeps. Ipswich Sparrow. — Much 



commoner than usual. No less than 14 observed at 

 Long Beach in one day. Two seen January 19 on 

 Staten Island, where it is rare (Rogers). 



68. Passerculus sandwichensis savanna. Savannah Spar- 



row. — A few individuals wintered at Manhattan 

 Beach. It is usually present at Long Beach in 

 winter, but was absent this year. 



69. Passerherbulus caudacutus. Sharp-tailed Sparrow. 



— Two individuals noted in a sheltered bed of marsh 

 grass at Long Beach on December 22 by Messrs. 

 Harper, LaDow, and Griscom. Not found on Janu- 

 ary 5. 



70. Passerherbulus maritimus maritimus. Seaside Spar- 



row. — Six of these Sparrows lingered in the same 

 bed of marsh grass as the Sharptails. On January 5 

 they were in full song and very tame. On February 9 

 they could not be found. So far as I know, this is the 

 first winter record for Long Island. 



71. Zonotrichia albicollis. White-throated Sparrow\ — 



Wintered in larger numbers than usual. One noted 

 by the writer at Long Beach on December 22, the 

 second winter record for that locality.

more abundant than usual.
