ZOOLOGY— BIRDS. 



A single specimen was taken in Provo Canon in August, and others 

 in the Wahsatch i-ange of mountains during the migrations in September 

 and October. They were found to be numerous about Denver in May, and 

 common tlu-ough Arizona and New Mexico. Their habits and notes appear 

 identical with those of the eastern socialis. Two broods are raised in a sea- 

 son. A nest, found July 24, containing young just hatched, was placed in a 

 small pinon tree a few feet from the ground. The bird winters in the 

 southern portion of Arizona.
