724. Cistothorus stellaris (Licht.). 



Short-billed Marsh Wren. 

 Accidental. Mr. Bond of Cheyenne has a single skin in 

 his collection that has been identified at Washington. 



725. Cistothorus palustris (Wils.). 



Long-billed Marsh Wren. 

 But very little is known of this bird in the state, and 

 there is a possibility that the following data should refer to 

 some other species : Williston reports them as not uncom- 

 mon about Lake Como. Grinnell notes, "seen but once on a 

 muddy slough near the bridge over the Yellowstone river." 



725 c. Cistothorus palustris plesius Oberholser. 



Western Marsh Wren. 

 Until quite recently this variety was placed with the 

 southwestern form under the Tule Wren. In 1899 (See Auk, 

 Vol. XVI. X the Western Marsh Wren was recognized and the 

 Tule Wren restricted to the Pacific coast region. On this ac- 

 count the records of Jesurun and Bond have been changed to 

 agree with the geographical distribution. This variety is un- 

 doubtedly a summer resident ; but there are no breeding rec- 

 ords. Jesurun has taken them at Douglas, and Bond at Chey- 

 enne. There is one skin in the University collection that was 

 taken at Hutton's lake by Mr. Bond and presented to the Uni- 

 versity. 



CREEPERS. 



726 b. Certhia familiaris montana Ridgw. 



Rocky Mountain Creeper. 

 Summer resident ; but very little is known of this varie-

 at Douglas, which includes all of the records. 



NUTHATCHES. 



727a. Sitta carolinensis aculeata (Cass.). 

 Slender-billed Nuthatch.
