 have also been collected by Ingersoll.4 Emerson noticed it along the high 

 banks of Soquel Creek. 



99. Ampelis cedrorum ( VicilL). Cedar Waxwing. 



Emerson. — Has been seen around Santa Cruz. I believe that it may 

 breed in the mountains, as young have been taken in .Sonoma county. It 

 is common about Haywards every spring, feeding on the pepper berries 

 and in time there is no question but that it will nest near habitation as the 

 covmtry becomes more settled. McGregor and Fiske. — The waxwing is 

 an irregular fall and winter visitant about Santa Cruz. Skirm. — Large 

 flocks sometimes come here, but staj^ only a short time. 5

 IngersoU tells me he took eggs of this species near Santa Cruz. Emerson.

 April 7, 1874, placed ten feet from the ground containing three eggs incu-

 from the ground containing four eggs. Two more nests were respectively
