' Accidentally to Massachusetts ( Bristol )?. 



'^ It is difficult, with the material examined (so many specimens being without 

 dates), to determine how far southward in Mexico this species breeds. It certainly 

 does breed entirely across the continent, from the coast of Texas (Corpus Christi, 

 etc.) to the coast of California, in the same localities with »S'. magna hoopesi, both 

 forms breeding on both sides of the United States-Mexican boundary line.
