— Mr. Stephens found this bird rather common at a point about five 
miles south of Tucson, where it frequented the cottonwoods along 
a small river. He also informs me that in May, 1875, he took sev- 
eral specimens on the Rio Grande River, between Albuquerque 
and Mesilla, and some others on the Gila, in New Mexico, during 
May and June.

NOTES ON THE SUMMER BIRDS OF THE UPPER 
ST. JOHN. 
BY CHARLES F. BATCHELDER. 
(Conchided from page mi) 
4 1 - Carpodacus purpureus ( Gmi) Bd. Purple Finch. — Common. 
42. Astragalinus tristis (Linn.) Cab. Goldfinch. — Common. 
Though somewhat beyond the limits of my subject, I quote the following 
from Mr. McLeod's notes : “This winter [1876-77] they have been abun- 
dant, although the season is very severe. I have seen them at this time 
of year but once before.” The Goldfinch has been supposed not to winter 
north of Massachusetts.
