less regular visitant during tJiat season as far east as Kansas. We did 



not, however, meet with it farther eastward than the East Humboldt ■ 



Mountains. 



In all respects this species appears to be a perfect counterpart of the 

 eastei'n J. hyemalis, being equally familiar in its habits during winter, while 

 its notes are apparently precisely similar.

Junco hyemalis var. caniceps, RiDGWAY, Am. Nat., 1873, 613. 



The Gray-headed Snow-bird was met with only in the pine forests of 

 the Wahsatch and Uintah Mountains, where it was rather common from 

 May to August, inclusive. Its habits and notes closely resemble those of 

 J. hyemalis and J. orcgonus, but its song, a simple monotonous trill, is 

 somewIiMt luiidir and more steady.
