219 6w. Add: Pleotrophanes hyperboreus. Polar Snowflake. McKay's Snow-

229 6w. Add: Passerculus beldingi. Belding's Savanna Sparrow. " Similar to 

 the darker form of P. sandwichensis (i. e. bryanti) , but much darker, with decidedly heavier 

 dark spotting on lower parts, the bill larger and more elongated." Salt marshes of the 

 Pacific coast, from Santa Barbara south to Todos Santos Island, Lower California. Accord- 

 ing to the A. O. U. Committee, what ornithologists have been calling " Passerculus anthinus " 

 includes two distinct forms, one of which is now called " Ammodramus sandwichensis bryanti," 

 and the other is this Passerculus beldingi. P. " bryanti " is described from San Francisco Bay, 

 as " differing from P. sandwichensis alaudinus in decidedly smaller size and much darker 

 coloration of the upper parts. There is little probability that such attempted discriminations 

 will survive the official etiquette of the present flutter in American Ornithology.
