 August 18, 1914. One was seen almost daily about oiir camp on San Clemente in 

 late March and early April. 1915, and it has been recorded from there in the 

 fall. J. Grinnell (.5) found it fairly common at Catalina in December, 1897, and

Rather rare winter visitant to the larger islands. C. B. Linton (1) took two 

 immature birds of this form on San Clemente, October 11, 1907, which he erron- 

 eously recorded as S. v. nucliaUs. I have seen their marks on trees on Catalina, 

 and April 8, 1911. I caught sight of a distant bird which was probably of this 

 species. On Santa Cruz Island, during the latter part of April, A. van Rossem 

 and I repeatedly saw trees tliat had been worked on by some sapsucker.
