TWENTY-THIBD ANNUAL MEETING. 89 



38.— Zonotrichia leucophrys (Forst.) White-crowned Sparrow. 



Common. 

 39. — Zonotrichia intermedia Ridgw. Intermediate Sparrow. 



This interesting form was common in the low bushes and thickets just above 

 timber-line on the range. I noted these birds in abundance on a mountain 

 tramp along the range for ten miles, August 10, and on the return tramp, 

 August 19. 

 40. — Spizella pallida (Swains.) Clay-colored Sparrow. 



One shot August 10. 

 41. — Junco hyemalis (Linn.) Slate-colored Junco. 



Not common. Found mostly about timber-line. Found nesting June 14, 1886. 

 The identification of this Junco is not positive. 

 42. — Pipilio chlornrus (Towns.) Green-tailed Towhee. 



Common. 

 43. — Piranga ludoviciana (Wils.) Louisiana Tanager. 



Common. This beautiful bird is one of the first noted by casual sight-seers in 

 the Park. 

 44. — Petrochelidon lunifrons (Say.) Cliff Swallow. 



Common. 

 45. — Tachycincta thalassina (Swains.) Violet-green Swallow. 



Abundant. 

 46. — Vireo gilvus (Viell.) Warbling Vireo. 



Only a few seen, but doubtless common. 

 47. — Dendroica audubonnii (Towns.) Audubon's Warbler. 



Not uncommon. One shot in a dense spruce forest. 

 48. — Cinclus mexicanus Swains. American Dipper. 



Not uncommon. This interesting bird stands with half the body submerged 

 and with footing most precarious in the swiftest-running portions of the 

 mountain streams. 

 49. — Salpinctus obsoletus (Say.) Rock Wren. 



Not uncommon. A noisy, dull-colored little bird, frequenting rough mountain 

 sides. 

 50. — Troglodytes sedon parkmanni (Aud.) Parkmann's Wren. 



Common. The young seen. 

 51. — Certhia familiaris americana (Bonap.) Brown Creeper. 



Apparently rare, but four being seen. Met with at timber-line. 

 52. — Sitta carolinensis Lath. White-breasted Nuthatch. 



Not uncommon in heavy woods. 

 53. — Sitta carolinensis aculeata (Cass.) Slender-billed Nuthatch. 



Not uncommon. 

 54. — Sitta pygmsea Vig. Pygmy Nuthatch. 



But one seen. 

 55. — Parus atricapillus septentrionalis (Harris.) Long-tailed Chicadee. 



Common. 

 56. — Parus gambeli (Ridgw.) Mountain Chicadee. 



Common. One typical specimen taken. Others seen. 

 57. — Myadestes townsendii (Aud.) Townsend's Solitaire. 



Rare; but one specimen obtained. 

 58. — -Turdus aonalaschkse audubonii (Baird.) Audubon's Hermit Thrush. 



Not uncommon. The sweet song of this thrush breaking in upon the stifling 

 silence of the dense spruce forests was rendered doubly sweet by the circum- 

 stances. It seemed far superior to any other thrush song I have heard.
