91. Calcarius pictiis . Smith Longspur. Probably a more 
common species than my records indicate. I found it on April 
8, 1910, in company with the Lapland Longspur s and Prairie 
Horned Larks. Five birds were watched through field glasses, 
at this time, at short range. 
92. Pooecetes gramineus gramineus: Vesper Sparrow. A 
flock of six birds remained in a farm yard near Webb from 
April 9 to 11, 1911. 
93. * A m m o d ra m us s av a nnaru m biniaculatiis. Western Grass- 
hopper Sparrow. In Tinker’s list ( op tit.) his specimens of the 
grasshopper sparrow are referred to this subspecies. It was a 
common breeding species. 5 
91. *Ghb'nclestes grammacus grammacus. Lark Sparrow. Tol- 
erably common summer resident and breeder. 
9 o. Zonotrichia querula. Harris Sparrow. Abundant in 
southern Clay .on October 30, 1910. The only other record was 
of a few noted at Sheldon, May 14, 1910.

mon migrant. 
97. Spizella monticola monticoia. Tree Sparrow. Common 
winter visitor. 
98. Spizella passerina passerina. Chipping SparroAV. A 
breeding species most abundant about towns. 
99. Spizella pusilla pusilla. Field SparroAAe A common 
breeding bird along the Avatercourses and lakes, wherever there 
is sufficient brush to furnish nesting sites. 
100. J unco hyemalis hyemalis. Slate-colored Junco. A com- 
mon winter visitor. 
101. M elospiza melodic melodia. Song SparroAV. Nested com- 
monly. 
102. M elospiza gecrgiana. Swamp Sparrow. Common mi- 
grant, most abundant in September. 
103. Passerella iliaca iliaca. Fox SparroAV. Tolerably com- 
•mon migrant. 
104. Pipilo erythrophthalmus erythrophthalmiis. Chewink.

5 In my first paper on the “Breeding Birds of a Clay County, Iowa. Farm”, 
(op. cit.) grasshopper sparrows were referred to as A. s. australis. This was 
done without specimens and as the birds of this region prove to be the 
western subspecies, the error is corrected at this time.
