Louisiana Seaside Finch

- The dark Seaside Finch of the west Gulf coast (Louisiana, southward in winter to Corpus Christi, Texas) has been separated by Mr. Ridgway under the above name. It is described as "similar to A. m. peninsulæ, but still darker, with dusky streaks on back, broader and blacker, and margined externally (except along median line) with broad streaks of pale ash gray or grayish white; pileum and hind neck more strongly tinged with brown; post-auricular space and chest strongly tinged with buff (some- APPENDIX II. times wholly deep buff), the latter distinctly streaked with black or grayish dusky." (Ridgway, Manual N. A. Birds, 2 ed., p. 602.) 567b. Change Junco hyemalis shufeldti Coale, SHUFELDT'S JUNCO, to Junco hyemalis connectens Coues, HYBRID JUNCO, the name shufeldti being antedated by that of connectens. 593d.
