Tliis large Bunting was noticed only during our ascent of tlie western 

 slope of the Sierra Nevada, the species being easily recognized by its large 

 size and uniform tawny color. It was first encountered in the ravines of 

 the lowest foot-hills, and was continually observed among the thickets and 

 chaparral by the roadside until the pine-forest grew dense and closed in to 

 the roadside, after which none were seen. It appeared to be a very silent 

 species, since no notes were heard.
