C9G CIRDS OF SOUTHWESTERN TEXAS. 



winter, and states that they occasionally breed iu that locality. Brown 

 found it comparatively abundant at Boerne iu winter. It is not in 

 Hancock's list, but John M. Priour informed me that it is found at Cor- 

 pus Christi. 



282. Sialia mexicaiia Swaixs. Western Bhiebird. 



Brown met with this Bluebird upon but two occasions at Boerne, 

 January 28 and March 1, when from their actions he inferred that they 

 were merely passing through. 1 did not meet with the species, nor is 

 it in Dresser's or Hancock's papers. 



283. Sialia arctica Swains. Mouutain Bluebird. 



During the latter part of January and first part of February I saw 

 three of these birds at Corpus Christi, and obtained two of them. They 

 were in very dull plumage. It was not seen at any other place. Brown 

 found it an abundant winter visitor at Boerne. 



"Comes in the winter, but breeds abundantly farther north.— A. L.
