On tlie flowery slopes of the Ruby and East Iliunboldt Mountains, at 

 an altitude of 7,500-10,000 feet, this little Hummer was abundant in 

 August and September, in company with Sclasphorus itJalycercus; the habit.s 

 and appearance of the two species being so nuich alike that we never knew 

 which was before us until the specimen was secured. The range of tiio 

 species is doubtless almost universal throughout the Basin, like that of Tro- 

 chilus alexanchi and SdaspJionis rufit^.
