nous, thus causing an actual extension of range. The problem is fur- 

 ther complicated by the fact that in addition to true virginianus, in- 

 troductions of so-called Mexican quail {Colinus v. texanus) have been 

 made in several States. As these have readily crossed with the 

 native birds, and as individuals show a great deal of variation, it is 

 frequently difficult to determine the natural limits of the different 

 races. The following summary, however, presents a reasonably 

 accurate picture of the natural range of the species : 



North to southeastern Wyoming (Horse Shoe Creek) ; South Da- 

 kota (Faulkton) ; North Dakota (Bartlett and Larimore) ; Wisconsin 

 (Danbury and Menominee) ; Michigan (Douglas Lake and Alcona 

 County) ; southern Ontario (Mount Forest, Listowel, Toronto, and 

 Port Hope) ; Vermont (Londonderry) ; and Maine (West Gardiner). 

 East to Maine (West Gardiner and West Fryeburg) ; rarely eastern 

 New Hampshire (Hampton) ; Massachusetts (Gloucester, Boston, 

 and Cape Cod) ; Rhode Island (Newport) ; New York (Shelter 

 Island and Roslyn) ; New Jersey (Red Bank, Vineland, and Sea Isle 

 City) ; Delaware (Lincoln) ; Virginia (Belle Haven, Eastville, Cape 

 Charles, Norfolk, and Dismal Swamp) ; North Carolina (Currituck 

 Sound and Raleigh) ; South Carolina (Waverly Mills, St. Helena 

 Island, and Frogmore) ; Georgia (Savannah, Riceboro, Jekyl Island, 

 and Okefenokee Swamp); and southern Florida (Miami). South 

 to southern Florida (Coconut Grove, Indian Key, and Key West) ; 

 Alabama (Bon Secour and Mobile) ; Mississippi (Biloxi and Bay 

 St. Louis) ; Louisiana (New Orleans, Houma, Abbeville, Mermentau, 

 and Iowa Station) ; southeastern Texas (Galveston, Corpus Christi. 

 and Brownsville) ; Tamaulipas (Tampico, Altamira, and Victoria) ; 

 and southern Nuevo Leon (Mier y Noriega). West to Nuevo Leon 

 (Mier y Noriega and Montemorelos) ; Coahuila (Sabinas) ; western 

 Texas (Langtry, Lozier, Fort Stockton, and Pecos) ; probably south- 

 eastern New Mexico (Carlsbad) ; eastern Colorado (Monon, Beloit, 

 Yuma, and Crook) ; and southeastern Wyoming (Uva and Horse 

 Shoe Creek). 



Introductions. — Introductions have been made in Colorado (Up- 

 per Arkansas Valley, Wet Mountains, Pueblo, Denver, Estes Park, 

 Loveland, Fort Collins, Greeley, Saguache, and Grand Junction) ; 

 Utah (Salt Lake Valley) ; Montana (Sappington, Anaconda, Flat- 

 head Lake, and Kalispell) ; Idaho (Boise, Nampa, Coeur d'Alene,

 dleton, Scio, Dayton, and Portland) ; Washington (Starbuck, Whid- 

 bey Island, Walla Walla, Cheney, Spokane, Osoyoos Lake, Olympia, 

 Tacoma, Seattle, and Blaine) ; and California (San Felipe and
