58. Agelaius phoeniceus sonoriensis Ridgw. Sonoran Red-wing '! 



These Blackbirds were fairly numerous along the water-courses of 

 the .Santa Clara.^ 



59. Icterus parisorum Bonap. Scott's Oriole. 



Frequently found leading their young among the oaks around 

 Oracle and 1000 feet higher. A pair were also seen in the 

 mesquite bordering the oak belt. 



60. Icterus cucullatus nelsoni Ridgw. Arizona Hooded Oriole. 



' While the range of this species extends from Tucson nearly up to 

 the lower edge of Catalina pines it was nowhere so abundant as 

 in the oak belt. 



61. Icterus bullocki (Swains.). Bullock's Oriole, 



None seen in the Catalina region but abundant in the heavy 

 chaparral of the Santa Clara Valley, where they breed. By 

 imitating the cry of a young bird and concealing myself in the 

 bushes I never foiled to bring a croAvd of these usually timid birds 

 within easy range. 



62. Carpodacus mexicanus frontalis (Say). House Finch. 



Very abundant to near the lower pine limit; males singing, and 

 young in every stage of growth. Some of their call notes, and their 

 actions and habits in general, are very suggestive of Passer 

 domesticvs. 



63. Spinus psaltria arizonae (Coues). Arizona Goldfinch. 



Several rather large flocks were seen about Tucson and a small 

 one in the oak belt; two specimens were secured. 



64. Chondestes grammacus strigatus (Swains.). Western Lark Sparrow. 

 Found rather s])ariugly in the oak belt but nowhere else. 



65. Junco cinereus palliatus Ridgw. Arizona Juneo. 



Breeding abundantly in the pine belt. 



66. Amphispiza bilineata (Cass.). Black-throated Sparrow. 



Ran<j;injr coiiunonlv, and breeding from Tucson to lUOO feet above 

 Oracle. 



1 Mr. Scott makes no allusion to this Blackbird in his paper, the only species 

 of Agelahis ntientioned being A. giibernator (Auk 18S7, p. 22). Only one spt-ci- 

 men, an adult male is contained in Mr. Rhoads' collection so that it is difficult to 

 decide to which race it should be referred. The measurements seem to be nearer 

 to true///rt'«/V«« rather than to sonoriensis, the wing being 4*80 in. — W. S.
