coverts, primaries, and secondaries (except the inner two), strongly rusty, 

 , and the outer, as well as inner edges of all the tail-feathers edged with 

 rusty. 



Myiarchus lawrencei olivaceus Ridgw. Olivaceus Crested Fly- 

 catcher. — Juv., first plumage ($ No. 2235, Santa Rita Mts., July 15). 

 Differing from the adult chiefly in having all the tail-feathers conspicu- 

 ously margined with rusty on both outer and inner webs, all the wing- 

 feathers, including both rows of coverts, tipped and edged with rusty, the 

 ash of the throat paler, and the yellow of the under parts much duller, 



Caeligena clemenciae Lesson. Blue-throated CAsiqyE. — The speci- 

 men announced in the last issue of 'The Auk' (Vol. II, No. r, January 1885, 

 p. 85) as having been taken by Mr. Stephens at Camp Lowell was really 

 shot by Mr. F. Ball (Mr. Stephens's assistant) in the Santa Catarina Mts., 

 a neighboring, but of course widely different locality. The bird bore a 

 label with "Camp Lowell" printed on the face in large letters and I over- 

 looked the inscription of the exact place of capture, which was rather in- 

 distinctly written in among some other manuscript data. 



Eugenes fulgens (Szvaius.) Gould. Refulgent Hummingbird.— A 

 female, apparently adult, was taken in the Santa Rita Mts., July 5. 



Picus stricklandi Malh. Strickland's Woodpecker. — Juv., first 

 plumage ((J No. 2001, Santa Rita Mts., June 27). Entire crown scarlet; 

 forehead smoky brown; occiput dull plumbeous; remainder of upper 

 parts, including wings, clear olive-brown : underparts very densely spotted 

 on a yellowish-white ground. Otherwise like the adult. A female 

 (No. 2096, Santa Rita Mts., July 4) is precisely similar to the last, with 

 the red crown patch fully as extended and deep in tint. Another female, 

 rather younger, has the red of the crown restricted to the extreme tips 

 of the feathers, as well as duller, yellower, and altogether less con- 

 spicuous.

 crown posteriorly and the occipital and nuchal regions, which are varied 

 with black, white, and cinnamon, the black predominating; under parts

 of the feathers are spotted marginally with white and dull black, and on 

 the under tail-coverts, the central feathers of which are broadly tipped with 

 brownish-white and crossed with v-shaped bars of black ; inner seconda- 

 ries, wing-coverts, scapulars, and fore part of back .of nearly the same 

 color as the under parts but paler and pinker, the feathers everywhere 

 barred and mottled with whitish and dark brown or dull black ; upper tail- 

 coverts, rump, and back posteriorly grayish-drab, obscurely barred and 

 mottled with dark brown and whitish; primaries drab, mottled with 

 whitish on their outer webs; tail leathers bluish-ash, finely vermiculated
