 ingly rare.

"Seen in October and November in Concho county, and also in winter 

 on Middle Concho in Tom Green county. Abundant near Colorado 

 City, on the Texas and Pacific Railroad. I believe this record extends 

 the range to the southwest. Westward it was abundant to the foot- 

 hills of the Davis Mountains. Said to have been driven from the 

 Panhandle by the numerous prairie fires." (Lloyd, The Auk, Vol. IV 

 p. 187.) This was written more than twenty-five years ago but I have 

 received specimens from the localities mentioned within the last three 

 years. 



The Lesser Prairie Hen is resident along the foot of the plains in the 

 Panhandle country, south of the Canadian.
