4 z. 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 seas.on 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.
