1299 [[underlined]] Passerculus savanna [[/under-lined]] var. ^Alandinus^ 27456 [[female symbol]] nest, & 5 eggs. Youkon June 15. Nest on ground under low grass in dry spot in a large marshy prairie. In Mr Lockharts collection are a large number of nests all taken from this prairie. We have found the nests in no other situation or locality. This specimen & those of Lockharts which I have labeled [[underlined]] savanna [[/underlined]] are as likely to be [[underlined]] sandwichensis [[/underlined]]. I shot [[female symbol]] as she left the nest. K
