Cistothorus steUaris. 



Thryothorus bewicki, var. leucogaster (I, 



147). .S])L'CuiiL'iis of tliis form were olitiiiiied at 

 Toqucrville, Southern Utah, in October, 1872, by 

 Mr. Henshaw, attached to Lieutenant Wheeler's ex- 

 pedition. 



Troglodytes parvulus, var. hyemalis (I, 



15aj. i)i'. Cooper has noticed a few of these Wrens 



Tro^iodytts parvulus. Tar. hyemalis. jjgaj- Sau Buenaventura in winter, after November 



10. They probably reside in the suunner in the high coast mountains lying east 



as well as in the Sierra Nevada. Outlines, omitted before, are hei'e given. 



Cistothorus steUaris (I, 159). Mr. Henshaw obtained good evidence of this 



bird's breeilinp; at Utah Lake. Nests and eggs were 



found in a farm-house, unquestionably those of this 

 species, and said to liave been obtained among the 

 tul^s or sedges along the shore of the lake. Outlines 

 of this species arc here i;iven. 



Anthus ludovicianus (f, 171). Mr. Allen 

 found this species breeding in the summer of 1871 on 

 the summit of Mt. Lincoln, Colorado Territory, above 

 the timber-line, at an altitude of over 13,000 feet. 



Helmitherus vermivorus (I, 187). Professor Frank H. Snow procured a 

 specimen of this species near Lawrence, Kansas, May 6, 1873. 



Helmitherus swainsoni (I, 190). 'Was obtained in Florida by Mr. W. 

 Thaxter. 



Helminthophaga virginice (1, 199). Very common in El Paso County, 

 Colorado, where it was obtained by Mr. Aiken. 



Helminthophaga lucis (1, 200). We are indebted to Captain Bendire for 

 the discovery of the nest and eggs of this comparatively new Warbler. He first 

 met with its nest near Tucson, Arizona, May 19, 1872. Unlike all the rest of 

 this genus, which, so far as is known, build their nests on the ground, this species 

 was found nesting something after the manner of the common Cray Creepei-, be- 

 tween the loose bark and the trunk of a dead tree, a few feet from the ground. 

 Except in their smaller size the eggs also bear a great resemblance to those of the 

 Creeper. lu shape they are nearly spherical, their groimd is of a crystal white- 

 ness, spotted, chiefly around the larger end, with fine dottings of a purplish-red. 

 They measure Jyi of an indi in length by .-l-'i in breadth. 



Helminthophaga celata, var. lutescens (1, 204). See Am. Nat. Vol. Vll, 

 October, 1873, p. 60(5. 



Helminthophaga peregrina (1, 205). Obtained in El Paso Coimty, Colo- 

 rado, in Seiiteiiilur, |S7:;, \,\ \\y, Aiken. 



Farula americana (1, 208). Obtained in ilay in El Paso County, Colorado, 

 by Mr. Aiken. 



Dendroica vieilloti, var. bryanti (I, 218). See Am. Nat. Vll, October, 

 1873, p. (iOr,.
