Loxia ourvirostra minor. 
Sent me in the flesh by Luman Sargent who shot them 
near the shores of Lake Umbagog. They reached me in fairly good 
condition and I skinned and dissected every one of them. The 
Crossbills were all breeding and there was not the slightest dif¬ 
ficulty in sexing them. In fact the sex mark in every case is 
absolutely reliable.
