Pages 215, 216. The Wren-Tits have been revised and their ranges more 

 correctly defined, and to the two forms given two more have been added. 

 The four races now recognized stands as follows: 742. Wren-Tit {ChamCBa 

 fasciata fasciata). Characters as described and figured. 



Range. — "Uppi in zone on the eastern and sout! ires Of San 



Francisco Bay and adjacent Santa Clara Valley" (A. O. U.). 



742a. Pallid Wren-Tit (C. f. henshatui). Similar to C. f. fasciata, -but 

 decidedly paler, the back, scapulars, rump, etc. grayish brown (deep hair-brown), 

 the pileum and hind-neck brownish gray (nearly mouse-gray or deep smoke 

 gray), and general color of underparts varying from very pale grayish buff 

 to buffy ecru-drab, or pale vinaceous-buff, fading to nearly white on lower 

 abdomen" (Ridgway). 



Range.— "Upper Sonoran Zone of foothills and valleys of interior and south- 

 ern California from Shasta County south to northern Lower California, and along 

 the coast from Monterey Bay southward" (.A. O. U.)

 California (from Columbia River to Humboldt Bay)" (A. O. U.). 



742c. Ruddy Wren-Tit (C. f. rufula). Intermediate in color between No. 

 742 and No. 742b. More richly colored than the former, but not so dark as the 

 latter.

 nevadensis). Resembles P. s. alaudinus "but much paler throughout in all plum-

 there being a minimum amount of hazel marginings; size slightly less." Differs
