242 Birds of San Pedro Martir. [ZOE 
€ggs were found until the roth. A set of three were taken at 
La Grulla on the 14th, that were about to hatch. ‘The nest 
was in an old woodpecker’s hole in a large pine that had been 
blown down, with its top resting on a big boulder. The hole 
which was about six feet from the ground was on the under side 
of the trunk and the nest about on a level with the opening; it 
was composed of dry grasses and lined with deer hair. A nest 
which was found on May 26 in a hole in a rotten stub about 
ten feet from the ground contained three eggs slightly incubated. 
A number of nests, which were found under logs, boulders and 
similar locations and left for full sets, were all destroyed. Several 
birds were shot while carrying large bills full of deer hair for 
nest Jining. 
Peucea ruficeps. Rvu¥ovs-CROWNED SPARROW. A series of 
four skins taken between Tia Juana and the base of San Pedro 
are practically indistinguishable from Southern California 
examples; seems to be rather common in a few favored localities 
along the base of San Pedro. 
_ Melospiza fasciata heermannt, H&ERMANN’s Sonc SPARROW. 
Through an error I referred the San Pedro song sparrows to 
vivularis in my notes published by Mr, Bryant. They seem to 
be true heermanni, however. Along the creeks and about water 
holes this form is more or less abundant from San Diego to the 
top of San Pedro. 
Fasserella iliaca megarhyncha, THICK-BILLED SPARRow. A 
few were seen in October on San Pedro and on one or two sub- 
Sequent occasions at Valladares. 
Pipilo maculatus megalonyx. SPURRED TOWHEE. Not 
uncommon in the Manzanita and shrub oak growth on San 
Pedro.
