Chrysoraitris pinus. 
Comino^. On July 30 saw thom carrying about buil¬ 
ding materials. By August 1, the females ^'jhich I shot 
had evidently layed their eggs and the males were in full 
song. They often sang floating in the air precisely 
like the Goldfinch, but the commonest performance was 
the guttural warble which we sometimes hear in Massachu- 
sotis late in spring. They were feeding here almost 
,, entirely on the green seeds of the birches and wore fond 
:i of bathing in the clear mountain streams (Glen House,N.H.J 
A few seen near the Profile House, N.H., where they 
wore not nearly as abundant as they wore at the Glen 
House last year. 
Edgar Elint, of Dover, ^’aine, tells me that this 
species is abundant there every winter; he does not 
think, however, that they breed there at that season. 
Abundant everywhere (Marston^s Mills,Mass).
