Thryothorus bewicki, var. leucogaster (T, 



147). Sjjeciuiens of this form were obtained at 

 Toquerville, Southern Utah, in October, 1872, by 

 Mr. Henshaw, attached to Lieutenant Wheeler's ex- 



^ pedition. 



Troglodytes parvulus, var. hyenialis (I, 



155). Di'. Cooper has noticed a few of these Wrens 

 Troglodytes parvulus, var. hyemaiis. ^^ear San Buenaventura in winter, after November 

 10. They probably reside in the summer in the high coast mountains lying east 

 as well as in the Sierra Nevada. Outlines, omitted before, are here given. 



Mr. Henshaw obtained good evidence of this 



Nests and eggs were 



Cistothorus steUaris. 



Cistothorus steUaris (I, 159) 

 bird's breeding at Utah Lake 



found in a farm-house, unquestionably those of this 

 species, and said to have been obtained among the 

 tul6s or sedges along the shore of the lake. Outlines 

 of this species are here given. 



Anthus ludovicianus (I, 171). Mr. Allen 

 found this species breeding in the summer of 1871 on 

 the summit of Mt. Lincoln, Colorado Territory, above 

 the timber-line, at an altitude of over 13,000 feet. 



Helmitherus vermivorus (I, 187). Professor Frank H. Snow procured a 



specimen of this species near Lawrence, Kansas, May 6, 1873. 



Helmitherus STvainsoni (I, 190). Was obtained in Florida by Mr. W. 

 Thaxter. 



Helminthophaga virginiae (I, 199). Very common in El Paso County, 

 Colorado, wliere it was obtained by Mr. Aiken. 



Helminthophaga luciae (I, 200). We are indebted to Captain Bendire for 

 the discovery of the nest and eggs of this comparatively new Warbler. He first 

 met with its nest near Tucson, Arizona, May 19, 1872. Unlike all the rest of 

 this genus, which, so far as is known, build their nests on the grovmd, this species 

 was found nesting something after the manner of the common Gray Creepei', be- 

 tween the loose bark and the trimk of a dead tree, a few feet from the ground. 

 Except in their smaller size the eggs also bear a great resemblance to those of the 

 Creeper. In shape they are nearly spherical, their ground is of a crystal white- 

 ness, spotted, chiefly around the larger end, with fine dottings of a purplish-red. 

 They measure .54 of an inch in length by .45 in breadth. 



Helminthophaga celata, var. lutescens (1, 204). See Am. Nat. Vol. VII, 

 October, 1873, p. 606. 



Helminthophaga peregrina (I, 205). Obtained in El Paso County, Colo- 

 rado, in September, 1873, by Mr. Aiken. 



Farula americana (1, 208). Obtained in May in El Paso County, Colorado, 

 by Mr. Aiken. 



Dendroica vieilloti, var. bryanti (I, 218). See Am. Nat. VII, October, 

 1873, p. 606.
