XV. — The Winter Birds of Colorado. 

 By W. L. ScLATEii, M.B.O.U. (Colorado Springs). 



It has occurred to me that a few notes on the winter birds 

 of Colorado might be of interest to my fellow-members of 

 the B.O.U., especially as litile appears in 'The Ibis •' on 

 tlie subject of North-American birds. This is probably due 

 to the fact that there are so many excellent ornithological 

 journals in the States that anything of really novel interest 

 is sure to be pubUshed in them. I do not claim for one 

 moment that there is an^'thiug original in what I have to 



* This Sun-bird, previously identified as C. olivacetis (above, p. 41), 

 proves on farther examination to difter noticeably from typical specimens 

 of that species in the British Museum, all my specimens being inter- 

 mediate in coloration and measurements between it and C. ohscurus of 

 the West Coast. Dr. Keichenow, whom I have consulted, considers it 

 to be undoubtedly referable to C. olivacina Peters.
