42 A NATURALIST IN THE MAGDALEN ISLANDS. 



26 LOXIA CURVIROSTRA var. AMERICANA, {Wils) Cs. 

 (Common Crossbill.) 



Abundant, and very tame in the woods near House Har- 

 bor. I also procured a specimen on Byron Island. 

 Breeds. 



27. JEGEOTHUS LINARIA, (Z) Cab. 

 (Red-poll Linnet.) 



I include the present species with great hesitation. On 

 August 3 a bird was brought to me, in a terribly mangled 

 condition, which I believed to be /Egeothus linaria. No 

 others observed or taken. 



28. CHRYSOMITRIS PINUS, {Wils) Bp. 

 (Pine Linnet.) 



A single specimen, taken July 30, which proved to be 

 an adult male.
