o9. SHARP-TAILED FINCH. {Ammodr omits caudacutiis). 
Several specimens of this Finch were taken by Mr. Pur- 
die, Mr. Daniel, and myself while collecting in the vicinity 
of Hampton in June, i88i. 
60. WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW. (Zonotriehia leueophrys). 
A very rare summer resident. Carnell collected one in 
1877 and one in 1878. Mr. Gilbert examined another spe- 
cimen taken in April, 1878. “ Occurs during migrations” at 
Grand Manan (Herrick). “Not common” at Calais 
(Boardman). 
61. WHITE-THROATED SPARROW. “OLD TOM PEABODY.” 
{Zonotriehia albicollis). 
A summer resident, breeding abundantly in all suitable 
localities. 
62. TREE SPARROW. (Spizella montana). 
A somewhat irregular winter visitant; often very common, 
but in some seasons quite rare. Was more plentiful during 
winter of 1880-81 than before. Mr. Gilbert has collected 
it in May. 
63. CHIPPINGr SPARROW. {Spizella domestiea). 
This species is a common summer resident, and breeds 
here. 
64. BLACK SNOWBIRD. “IVORY-BILLED BLUEBIRD.” (Juneo 
hy emails). 
“Junco,” as this species is familiarly styled by intimate 
acquaintances, is not a true “ Snowbird ” in this locality, for 
often it has left for a southern tour before the first flake of 
snow has fallen, and is not seen again until the strong sun- 
shine and warm showers of early April have bared the fields 
of their winter dress, though this is not an invariable rule, for 
during some winters large numbers have been seen, generally 
in company with Tree Sparrows and Redpolls. “Junco” 
breeds here abundantly.
