Finch. — No. 73, ad., May 7, 1878. A common summer resident (Hen- 

 shaw). 



25. Melospiza fasciata fallax, Baird. Rocky Mountain Song- 

 Sparhow. — Summer resident (Henshaw). 



26. Junco oregonus (Townsend). OREGON SNOWBIRD. — No. 18, 

 $ ad., February, 1875; No. 19, $ ad., October 29, 1875. Tbe Snow- 

 birds are very abundant in winter. They come close to the quarters, 

 feeding upon the ground beneath the pine-trees, where it is a pleasure to 

 watch them. They are very gentle and familiar, allowing one to approach 

 quite close before flying up into a tree ( Witticli). 



[As respecting their tameness, they thus appear to be unlike their East- 

 ern cousins (J. hyemalis), which are very shy, timorous birds, flying off 

 with a scared twitter whenever approached.] 



Common summer residents of the mountains (Henshaw). 



27. Spizella socialis arizonae, Coues. Western Chipping Spar-
