IOO THE BIOLOGICAL REVIEW. 



Corvus americana. — Common ; breeding. 



Agelaius phoeniceus. — Rare ; only one female observed. 



Scolecophagus carolinus. The Rusty Grackle takes the 

 place of the Red-winged Blackbird, breeding abundantly along 

 the banks of rivers, and also in the marshes. 



Quiscalus quiscula ceneus. — Common, breeding around the 

 more cultivated parts, and in the neighborhood of the small 



Pinicola enucleator (Pine Grosbeak). — Common in November 

 and December. 



Spinus tristis. — Common ; breeding. 



Plectrophenax nivalis. — Exceedingly abundant in October 

 and November. Flocks of thousands swarm on the docks. 



Calcarius lapponicus. — Common. Large flocks arrived early 

 in October, but became scarce as the Snow Birds increased. 



Zonotrichia albicollis. — Abundant ; breeding ; several young 

 birds captured around the camps. 



Spizella monticola. — Abundant in October. 



Junco hyemalis. — Common ; breeding. 



Melospiza fasciata. — Breeds rarely.

Clivicola riparia (Bank Swallow). — Abundant ; breeding. 



Vireo olivaceus. — Abundant summer resident. 



Helminthophila celata. — A beautiful specimen of the 

 Orange-crowned Warbler was brought to me in September 

 to be mounted. It had flown into a house, and was captured 

 for a canary. The owner never came after it, so I have it in 

 possession at present. 



Dendroica coronata. — The Myrtle was about the only 

 warbler observed, and was abundant in September and October. 

 Also breeds, as several young specimens were taken in August. 



Anthus pensylv aniens. — Pipits were abundant in September 

 and October, large flocks accompanying the shore larks. 



Tardus ustulatus swainsonii.— The Olive-backed Thrush 

 was the only thrush observed, and it was common, breeding 

 about the railway camps.
