Spinus pinus. Maine (L. Umbagog) Chrysoptis pinus 1886 Wintering Feb. 9 Two shot on this date were received by me in the flesh (Feb. 18) from L. Sargent. Both were adult ♀ with positively undeveloped ovaries the ova being as minute as in pure C. tristis record at the same time. This confirms what I have previously believed viz. that this species does not breed in winter at Umbagog. Maine (near Bangor) Chrysoptis pinus 1889 Breeding June "Pair Finches have been breeding here quite commonly this month. I have never found them at this season before" (S. L. Crosby letter June 23, 1889) "A boy who works for me has found two nests of Pair Goldfinches, unfortunately he broke all three of the eggs which the first contained. Three of the second was hatched when found. There is no doubt as to their identity for I have a skin 'Young of the Birds.'" (S. L. Crosby letter July 9, 1888) Lake Umbagog, Maine.
