Evening Grosbeak-~Hesperiphona vespertina (Cooper).

The only evidence concerning the distribution of this species
was supplied by Dr. G. R. Baker who reported seeing several at Six-
teen Mile Lake on June 18, 1944

Purple Finch--Carpodacus purpureus (Gmelin).

Several males frequented particular sections of the aspen
woods in the Puntchesakut Lake district and were heard singing
from May 9 to May 24. The only female seen was in the company
of two red males on May 11. A mated pair was recorded at Nukko
Lake, and at Bulkley Lake a population that included several
pairs and their flying young were several times observed feeding on
black twin-berries. Two specimens collected identify the subspecies

as Carpodacus purpureus purpureus (Gmelin).

Pine Grosbeak--Pinicola enucleator (Linnaeus).

A female of this species was collected at Puntchesakut Lake
on May 50. It was the only one seen; it was not in breeding condi-
tion and presumably was a wanderer. One was seen just below timber-
line on Rocher Deboule, July 19, and for several days following this
bird or another was heard singing near the same place.

The specimen is identified as Pinicola enucleator montana
Ridgway.

Rosy Finch--Leucosticte tephrocotis (Swainson).

A solitary young bird in juvenile plumage was twice seen, July
22, July 23, and subsequently collected, beside an old miner's cabin
that stands on a small alp on Rocher Deboule. Very likely this bird
came from one of the high, rugged peaks, the bases of which are not
far back of the alplands
