Wyoming Birds. 6i 



529a. Astragalinus tristis pallidus: Pale Goldfinch. 



A fairly common summer resident along streams and 

 brushy places at the lower altitudes. 

 530. Astragalinus psaltria: Arkansas Goldfinch. 



"Probably very rare, if not accidental. The Wyoming rec- 

 ord rests upon a single specimen taken by Bond at Chey- 

 enne, May 26, 1889. Mir. Bond has the skin in his collec- 

 tion." (Knight.) 



533. Spinus pinus: Pine Siskin. 



Abundant summer resident in the foothills and mountains. 



534. Plectrophenax nivalis nivalis: Snow Bunting. 



Common winter resident on the plains with the Desert 



Horned Larks. 

 536. Calcarius lapponicus lapponicus: Lapland Longspur. 



There are skins in the University collection which were 



taken by Knight and verified by Ridgeway, but Knight 



failed to record this form in his bulletin. Specimens taken 



by Walker about Laramie in the spring of 1912 belong to 



the succeeding species. 

 536a. Calcarius lapponicus alascensis: Alaska Longspur. 



Peabody and Walker have taken specimens of this species. 



Lockwood's record is conditionally referred to this form, 



but may belong to the preceding. 



538. Calcarius ornatus: Chestnut-collared Longspur. 



Peabody and Percival record this and indicate that it is 

 very common. Knight recorded that it was rare. Biolog- 

 ical Survey collectors have found it to be fairly common 

 summer resident in the northeastern portion of the state, 

 and it is on this authority that the third edition of the A. 

 O. U. check list records it. 



539. Rynchophanes mccowni: IMcCown's Longspur. 



Abundant summer resident on the plains and southern por- 

 tion of the state, and is reported by M'etz from the north- 

 • era part. 

 540a. Pooecetes gramineus Gonfinis: Western Vesper Sparrow. 

 Very abundant summer resident at all the lower altitudes 

 over the entire state and occurs occasionally almost to 

 timber line.
