as very common on Anacapa in March, 1911. A. van Kossem and I found them 

 to be fairly common on the grass lands of Santa Cruz Island in the spring of 

 1911. A nest of six slightly incubated eggs was found on April 28. H. C. Ober- 

 holser (2) mentions two specimens taken on San ^liguel in June, 1892, and II. 

 AVi-iglit (S) noted the species on Santa Rosa, July 10, 1912.

 Coast Avif., 11, 1915, p. 105. 



C. II. Richardson (1) heard one of these birds at Catalina, April 16, 1906. 

 During the middle of April, 1911, and towards the last of that month, 1908, 1 

 repeatedly saw one or possibly two pairs in the grounds of the Banning resi- 

 dence, a mile from Avalon. I twice flushed the female from an inaccessible nest 

 in a palm tree on the lawn, and presume that there were eggs at this date.

Regular migrant in small numbers. On the Coronados, A. van Rossem (3) 

 shot a male and saw others during early April, 1909, and I found a dead male 

 there June 10, 1910. C. B. Linton (3) shot a specimen on San Clemente, March 

 31, 1907, and another on San Nicolas Island, March 30 or 31, 1910. J. Mailliard 

 (1) mentions the species as occurring on Santa Cruz during April, 1908, and W. 

 L. Dawson (MS) saw one there April 20, 1915.
