which is found so far south only in winter. Its inclusion on the Kansas list is 
based upon numerous specimens taken at Manhattan, and upon some Fort Riley 
specimens in the National Museum. Dwight,1890. The Auk, vol. VII, p. 138. 
189. 474b. Otocoris alpestris praticola (Hensh.) Prairie Horned Lark. 
Resident in eastern Kansas; common. Inhabits the upper Mississippi valley 
and region of the Great Lakes, west to central Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas; 
south in winter nearly to the Gulf. Baird, 1858. 
190. 474c. Otocoris alpestris arenicola (Hensh.) Desert Horned Lark. 
Resident in middle and western Kansas; common. Inhabits the great plains, 
Rocky mountains, and great basin, north into the British provinces, south to 
about latitude 34°. Goss, 1883. 
191. 475. Pica pica hudsonica (Sab.) American Magpie. Once a rare resi- 
dent; now a rare fall and winter visitant. Inhabits western North America, ex- 
cept California; north to Alaska, east to edge of the plains, south to Arizona. 
The evidence upon which Colonel Goss included it as a former resident is given 
in his catalogue, 1886, page 35. Doctor Allen says that he did not find this spe- 
cies breeding in Kansas, as reported by Snow in the second edition of his cata- 
logue. Doctor Allen’s record was for Colorado, and was inadvertently given by 
him as for Kansas. Snow, 1872. 
192. 477. Cyanocitta cristata (Linn.) Blue Jay. Resident; abundant in 
summer, and hardly common in winter. Found in wooded portions of the state 
and about plantations; rare in western Kansas. Inhabits the eastern United 
States, except Florida, north to the Hudsonian zone, west to the plains. Win- 
ters from about latitude 40° southward to the Gulf. Abert, 1848. 
193. 486. Corvus corax sinuatus (Wagl.) American Raven. Formerly a 
resident; now probably only a rare visitantin the state. A bird of the West, from 
British Columbia south to Guatemala. Say, 1823. 
194. 487. Corvus cryptoleucus (Couch). White-necked Raven. A rare 
resident in western Kansas; common in late fall and winter, but decreasing in 
numbers as the settlements increase. Its geographical range includes the south- 
western United States and northern Mexico; east to western Texas, Oklahoma, 
and Kansas; north to Colorado, southern Utah, and southern California. Breeds 
throughout its range. Taken by H. H. Wright, in Phillips county, July 28, 1875. 
Snow, 1875. 
195. 488. Corvus americanus (Aud.) American Crow. An abundant resi- 
dent in the timbered parts of the state. In winter, it sometimes collects in large 
roosts in eastern Kansas. Its geographical range includes the timbered sec- 
tions of North America, from the Hudsonian zone to Mexico. Say, 1823. 
196. 491. Picicorvus columbianus (Wils.) Clark’s Nutcracker. An acci- 
dental visitant. The bird belongs to the mountainous coniferous forests of west- 
ern North America, from Arizona north to Alaska. Their occurrence in Nebraska, 
Dakota, and Kansas is accidental. Taken near the south line of Marshall county, 
August 13, 1888, by Chas. Netz. Also taken on the Neosho river, October 9, 1891, 
by R. Evans (Collette). Goss, 1889. Auk, voi. VI, p. 123.
