Tlie "Long-tailed House Wren," or Bewick's Wren, was observed 

 frequently at Sacramento, where, as in certain portions of the East, it fre- 

 (jucnted the out-houses in the city, in company with the Barn Swallow and 

 Black Pewee. After leaving' there, we nowhere identified it with certainty, 

 althoug-h a single individual of what seemed to be this species was noticed at 

 Cllendale, Nevada, in November, 18G7. The specimen in question was seen 

 among the willows bordering the river, and disappeared before we could 

 decide whether it was this species or the Wood Wren (Troglodytes park- 

 manni).

The I'ange of this Wren is apparently co-extensive with the distribution 

 of the timber, or governed strictly by the presence or absence of trees, 

 without special regard to their kind. Its vertical range, like that of the 

 Robin, Louisiana Tanager, and many other species, was consequently very 

 considerable, it being equally abundant among the cotton-woods of the river-
