Acanthis linaria rostrata and Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus in Con- 
necticut. — In a small collection of bird skins given me some time ago by 
Dr. W. H. Hotchkiss of this city I find two skins of the Greater Redpoll. 
They were taken by Dr. Hotchkiss near New Haven on December 17, 1878, 
and are, I believe, the only specimens of this subspecies so far recorded 
from Connecticut. 
Auk, XVIII, April., 1901, p. if?'
