Loxia leucoptera. Lake Umbagog. 1836 February 9 Sent me in the flesh by Luman Sargent who shot them near the shores of Lake Umbagog. They reached me in fairly good con- dition and I skinned and dissected every one of them. The Cross- bills were all breeding and there was not the slightest difficulty in sexing them. In fact the sex mark in every case is absolutely reliable. II078, male adult, Testes of maximum size. II079 " " " " "
