293. Thryothorus bewickii spilurus (Vig.) 



ViGORs's Wren. — Collected on Cerros Island by Mr. Beld- 

 ing, Mr. Townsend and myself. Those which I secured in 

 1885 were in worn plumage, but suggested to Mr. Henshaw, 

 who identified them, the possibility that they belonged to a 

 local race. I saw some at Soledad Stock Eanch, and met 

 with it a^^ain on the peninsula in the latitude of Cerros Is- 

 land. Mr. Belding has recorded it from San Quintin, and 

 Mr. Anthony reports it from the northwest coast in winter 

 under 2,500 feet altitude. 



294. Thryothorus brevicaudus Ridgw. 



GuADiiLUPE Wren. — Known from Guadalupe Island by 

 two specimens collected by Dr. Palmer in 1875, and the 

 seven which I obtained February 16, 1887. (See Bull. Cal. 

 Acad. Sci., Vol. II, pp. 312-313.) 



295. Troglodytes aedon parkmanii (Aud,) 



Parkman's Wren. — Mr. Belding found it to be rare on 

 Cerros Island, and collected a specimen at La Paz. 



296. Cistothorus palustris paludicola Baiid. 



TuLE Wren. — Obtained only at San Jos^ del Cabo by Mr. 

 Belding. On March 7, 1889, I shot a female among the 

 mangroves on Santa Margarita Island, and the year before 

 a Mexican boy brought one to me, which he had killed with 

 a stone; the bird was moulting, having lost all of its tail 

 feathers. 



297. Sitta carolinensis aculeata (Cass.) 



Slender-billed Nuthatch. — Found in the Victoria mount- 

 ains of the Cape region by Mr. Belding. In the pines on 

 San Pedro Martir Mr. Anthony found it nesting from 7,500 

 to 10,000 feet altitude. 



298. Sitta canadensis Linu. 



Ked-beieasted Nuthatch. — A small colony was found 

 among the pines on Guadalupe Island. (See Bull. Cal. 

 Acad. Sci., Vol. II, pp. 313-314).
