Acanthis hornemanni exilipes. Hoary Redpoll. — Although Red- 
polls ( Acanthis Unarm) were formerly occasionally common in southern Con- 
necticut and more rarely recorded in recent years, not until the fall of 1906 
did I ever succeed in finding this species. On November 24 of that year 
while collecting in East Haven with my friend Mr. E. Seymour Woodruff, 
whose untimely death was a great and permanent loss both to his friends 
and to ornithology , we found a large flock of Redpolls and from it were 
fortunate enough to secure a single young female Hoary Redpoll, now in 
my collection. This is the first record in Connecticut.
