the bird is larger. No. 3638, taken at Karluk, but without date, is almost exactly like the type. 
But No. 3477 is much more worn, resulting in a much less rusty cast of coloration. A Kadiak 
Savanna Sparrow in the California Academy of Sciences Collection is quite typical. There are 
also two skins from Middleton Island and one from Eagle Harbor, Shumagin Islands, all of which 
are referable to xanthophrys . All other Savanna Sparrows from Alaska examined by me are 
strictly referable to either alaiidinus or sandwichensis. Among about a hundred winter Amnio- 
drami from California, Washington and Oregon, I have not found one that can be called xantho- 
phrys, though the latter two States present several specimens of sandwichensis. However, the 
Kadiak race is likely to be found wintering somewhere in the vicinity of Puget Sound.

14. Melospiza melodia hisignis ('Baird). Bischoff’s Song Sparrow. 
Three specimens, October and November,

Three specimens, Oct. 19, Nov. 10 and 21. 
18. Pants atricapilliis septenirionalis (Harris). Long-tailed Chickadee. 
Eight specimens, October to January. These are not referable to occidentalis. The 
species may possibly here be a winter visitant from northern Alaska, where septenirionalis is 
common in summer and fall. 
19. Plylocichla aonalaschkce (Gmel.). Dwarf Hermit Thrush. 
St. Paul, ^ adult (No. 3493 Coll. L. S. J. U.), Jtrly 17, ’97. This specimen is unusually pale 
and gra3dsh dorsallj’, almost the shade of PI. alicice. This can scarcely' be due to abrasion and 
fading, as the comparison is made with adult equally worn Juh' and August specimens of 
aonalaschkce in my collection from Sitka.
