sti-eams, at an elevation of about 7,500 feet. On I'caclung the pines, at an 

 elevation of about 9,000 feet, they were found to be present in nuich g-reater 

 numbers, and at 10,000 feet were still common. 



Their song is a short simple melody, but beautiful from its extreme sweet- 

 ness of expression. In this, as also in habits, it bears a great resemblance 

 to the Scarlet Tanager. It is busy the whole time gleaning from among the 

 pines and spruces the larger beetles and insects which infest them, and 

 generally keeps well up among the higher branches, whence it ' makes its 

 pi'esence known by its occasional bursts of melody. Very common at Camp 

 Apache, Ariz., and met with frequently at various points to the southward. 

 Seen at the Gila River October lb* ; but at this time neai'ly all had gone 

 farther south. Frequents at this season the deciduous trees. 



Iris brown; bill horn-color; feet and legs bluish.
