4. Ainmodramiis sajidwichensis Sandwich Sparrow. 
Unga Island. 
But three specimens are from this island, taken by Snodgrass (R. E.) and Greeley (A. W.) 
in July, 1897. 
1. Lagopus lagopus Willow Ptarmigan. 
$ ad., July 21. 
2. Zonotrichia coronata (Pall.j. Golden-crowned Sparrow.

3. Passerella iliaca ii 7 ialaschcensis Unalaska Sparrow. 
$ ad., July 21. 
Kadiak Island. 
Nineteen species are in the collection from this Island taken principally by Cloudsley Rutter 
during the winter of 1896-97. A few skins were obtained by A. W. Greeley in July, 1897. This 
collection is of special interest as affording a new subspecies. 
1. Fiihnai'iis glacialis glnpischa Stejn. Pacific P'ulmar. 
Karluk, ^ ad., (dark phase), July 20. 
2. Tringa coiiesi (Ridgw.). Aleutian Sandpiper.

3. Lagopus lagopiis (Linn.). Willow Ptarmigan. 
Six specimens, Dec., Jan. and P'eb. 
4. Lagopus t'upestris . Rock Ptartnigan.

Karluk, two specimens. 
6. Pica pica hudsonica (Sab.). American Magpie. 
Karluk. six specimens, Oct. — Dec. “Very common; feeds on dead fish” (Note on label). 
The bills of these birds are slightly larger than in specimens of the same species from Nevada; 
otherwise I see no difference. 
7. CorvJis coi'ax principalis Rigdw. Northern Raven. 
Two specimens, Dec. 12 and 27. 
8. Pijiicola e 7 iucleaf or Jlammula (Hon\ey&r). Kadiak Pine Grosbeak. 
$, Jan. 22. Measurements — wing 4.28, tail 3.74, culmen .57. 
9. Leucosticte tephrocotis kadiaka (McGregor).* Kadiak Leucosticte. 
Five leucostictes are in the collection from Kadiak Island. Four are in winter plumage, 
while one. No. 3942, Coll. L. S. J. LL, taken at Kadiak, July 19, 1897, is a breeding bird, thus 
indicating that the species is resident on this Island. Specimens at hand indicate an almost 
complete gradation between Leucosticte tephrocotis of the Sierra Nevada and griseomicha of the 
Aleutian and Pribilof Islands. Such being the case, then the latter form is a subspecies of 
tephrocotis as long ago contended (/). tephrocotis var. g^'iseinucha CouES, Key, 1872, p. 130.) I 
hope to further discuss the relationships of these forms as soon as some expected material arrives 
from the north.

11. Passerina Jiivalis (hinn.). .Snowflake. 
One specimen (No. 3767, Coll. L- S. J. U.), Feb. 28, Sex(?). Measurements — wing 4.50, 
tail 3.00, culmen .46. This bird is still closer in size to townsendi than the one from Belkovsky 
Bay.

Type — $ ad.. No. 3476, Coll. L. S. J. U.; St. Paul, Kadiak Island, Alaska; July 18, 1897; 
Collected by Greeley (A. W.) and Snodgrass (R. E.). 
Description — Lower parts white; sides washed palely with tawny; feathers of breast, sides 
and flanks with cuneate or linear shaft-streaks. Eclge of wing, pale yellow. Superciliary stripe 
canary yellow. Submaler and rictal stripes sooty, edged with tawny. Malar patch and sides of 
neck suffused with pale buff. Median crown stripe, whitish; otherwise, whole upper parts broadly 
streaked with sooty, each feather being centrally black, then tawny, and finally edged with gray- 
ish. The hind-neck, palest; middle of the back, most heavily marked. The tawny color 
predominates over the gray, giving the whole bird a decidedly “rusty” appearance. 
Three specimens of this race are in the collection from Kadiak. As shown in the following 
table of measurements the proportions and size of the bill are almost exactly between those of A. 
sa 7 idwichensis and A. s. alaudinus. The general tone of the upper parts is quite different from 
either, showing a predominance of tawny. In this brownness of coloration xa 7 ithrophrys resem- 
bles A. s. sava 7 i 7 ta, but the superciliary stripe of the former is very bright yellow and the size of
