520 GEOLOGICAL 5JJRVEY OF CANADA. 



Stringer had to skin the birds and blow the eggs and make his 

 notes, and by the time this work was done the Eskimos were astir 

 again and making ready to proceed on their journey. {W. Raine.) 



MUSEUM SPECIMENS. 



Six; one taken at Ottawa, by Prof. Macoun in May, 1888; two 

 taken by Mr. F. A. Saunders in April, 1890; three taken by Mr. 

 Spreadborough, in June, 1903, at Peace River Landing; these 

 last represent the gray phase of Ridgway, but are doubtless a dis- 

 tinct form. 



One set of five eggs taken at Nachvak, Labrador, by Mr. R. 

 Guay, in June, 1897. 



585a. Shumagin Pox Sparrow. 



Passerella iliaca unalaschensis (Gmelin) Ridgw. 1900. 

 Shumagin Islands and Aliaska peninsula, Alaska; Unalaska 

 Island ? (Ridgway!) An adult female taken at Homer, Kenai 

 peninsula, June 5th, 1901, agrees with Shumagin Island speei- 

 mens. (Chapman^ 



585.1. Kadiak Pox Sparrow. 



Passerella iliaca insularis Ridgw. 1900. 

 Kadiak Island, Alaska, in summer; south to California in 

 winter. Type taken at Kadiak Island, May 17th, 1868, by F. 

 Bischoff. {Ridgiivay in The Auk, Vol. XVII., p. 30, 1900.) 



585.2. Yakutat Pox Sparrow. 



Passerella iliaca annectens Ridgway. 1900. 

 Coast of Alaska, from Cross Sound to Prince William's Sound; 

 in winter south to California. {Ridgway.) Rather common at 

 Cook's Inlet, Alaska, but very shy as usual, and hard to secure. 

 Two specimens were taken at Hope and one at Tyonek but are 

 not typical. {Osgood.) Three, specimens taken at Homer and 

 on Keliai Mountains in August, 1901. These birds agree with 

 June specimens of annectens from Yakutat Bay. {Chapman) 

 This species was taken in April, 1893, at Victoria, Vancouver 

 Island, by Mr. Spreadborough.
