66 . Zonotrichia albicollis ( Gmelin ) Bonap. White-throated Spar- 
row. — 'Abundant summer resident, far outnumbering all the other Spar- 
rows together. 
67. Spizella montana ( Forster ) Ridgway. Tree Sparrow. — Occurs 
plentifully in fall and spring on the passage south and back, from its

Breeds, but not common. Nests about the Forge at foot of Fulton Chain. 
69. Spizella pusilla ( Wilson ) Bonaparte. Field Sparrow. — Dr. A. 
K. Fisher writes me that he has seen the Field Sparrow about the southern 
end of Lake George, in Warren County, and that O. B. Lockhart has two 
sets of eggs taken there. Both Mr. A. Jenings Dayan and myself have 
found it in the Black River Valley, in Lewis County, where, however, it 
is a very rare bird.

ably common summer resident, breeding at various localities.

cies rests on the authority of Dr. A. K. Fisher, who writes me that it 
occurs in southern Warren Countv.
