as given in the first edition of this Catalogue must stand, though in 

 some cases plainly incorrect. In the present edition leucolosma of 

 the first edition has been changed to arcticola and arnicola to leuco- 

 loema. Hoyti and enthymia have been added, though the last has 

 not been generally accepted by ornithologists. Preceding the dis- 

 tribution of each subspecies that of Mr. Oberholser is given. 



474. Horned Lark. 



Otocoris alpestris (Linn.) Bonap. 1838. 



In summer, northeastern British Columbia, west of Hudson bay, 

 from Newfoundland, Labrador and the head of James bay, north- 

 ward ; accidental in Greenland, in winter west to Manitoba. (Ober- 

 holser.) 



One shot at Godthaab in October, 1835, but known before to 

 occur on the other side of Davis strait at Cape Wilson, loth July 

 1822. (Arct. Man.) Common summer resident in Labrador. 

 Breeds at the mouth of the Koaksoak river and at Rigolet. (Packard.) 



Abundant everywhere on the bleakest and most exposed hillsides 

 of northwestern Labrador. So far as I could determine all the 

 horned larks observed were of this race. (Bigelow.) Common 

 and breeding on the rocky islands of James bay from Moose 

 Factory to Richmond gulf : not observed in the interior between 

 Richmond gulf and Ungava bay in 1896. (Spreadborough.) 

 Greenland, Newfoundland, Labrador and Hudson bay, south- 

 ward in winter into the United States. Our bird breeds 

 far north of the United States, about the shores of Hudson bay, 

 Labrador and Newfoundland. Breeding birds have been examined 

 from Fort Chimo and Davis inlet, Labrador; Penquin island. Cape 

 St. Mary, and Canada bay, Newfoundland ; Moose Fort, James bay ; 

 non-breeding from Toronto and Rat Portage, Lake of the Woods, 

 Ont. ; also from Manitoba. (Dwight.) Common during the spring 

 and autumn migrations, in Nova Scotia. (Downs; Tufts.) In 

 numbers on Sable island, N.S., January 14-21, 1904 ; three 

 individuals seen January 6, 1905, and one September 30, 1901.
