A European s})eci- nien has the hill as Ioul* as that from Kodiak, hut less swollen. A Hima- species {C. suhJiiiiiarhnliix) is nnich smaller, anout Calais, and Mr. Verrill gives it as quite common in the vicinity of Norway. It is found every winter more or less fre([uently in Eastern ^Massachusetts, though Mr. Allen regards it as rare in the vicinitv of S])rinufield. It is not cited by Dr. Cottper as a ]>ird of Territory, but he mentions it as not uncommon near the summits of the Sierra Nevada, latitude 39", in Sep- tember. It probal)ly l)reeds there, as he found two birds in that region in the young plumage. Tliev were feeding on spruce seeds when he first saw them, and lingered even after their companions had been shot, and allowed him to approach within a few feet of them. Mr. It. Brown (Ibis, 1808) states that during the winter of 1800, while snow was lying on the ground, two pail's of this species were shot at Fort Kupert, Vancouver Island. Wilson met with occasional specimens of these birds in the vicinity of Philadelphia, generally in immature ]>lumage, and kept one several months, to notii any change in its plumage. In the summer it lost all its red colors. Please
