200 Scott on the Birds of Arizona. [July 



— Though resident about Tucson, and at the lower altitudes of the region 

 under consideration, they are common in the Catalina region, where they 

 range up to about 5000 feet, only during the warmer months, and I have 

 not met with them at all in the winter. A few were noted in the hills 

 above OKI Hal Canon on May 11, 1S85, the first of the season. They 

 breed in this locality, and though I have found no nests, I have taken the 

 young fully fledged in the first plumage. 



152. Zonotrichia leucophrys. White-crowned Sparrow. — This spe- 

 cies, in comparison with the next, is apparently rare. I have met with it 

 in September, February, and May, in small numbers, associated with the 

 next. 



153. Zonotrichia intermedia. Intermediate Sparrow. — Observed 

 from the last week of September till late in May. The greater part seen 

 in September were in immature plumage. 



1^4. Spizella socialis arizonse. Western Chipping Sparrow. —My 

 notes in regard to this form are all from the Catalina region. They indi- 

 cate that the species is rare in summer, ami abundant during the fall, 

 winter, and spring. Mr. Brown has found it common about Tucson in 

 winter. In the Catalinas the birds seem to frequent the bottoms of the 

 wiiler canons, feeding on seeds of various grasses, ami congregating in 

 large flocks, sometimes numbering several hundred individuals. In March 

 they begin to take on the spring plumage. 



[The series of 46 specimens of this form sent by Mr. Scott are mostly in 

 winter plumage, but the considerable number of spring specimens well 

 sustains Mr. Brewster's remarks (Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, Vol. VIII, pp. 190- 

 191) respecting the differences that maybe regarded as characteristic of 

 the western race of 5. socialis. — J. A. A.] 



155. Spizella pallida. Clay-colored Sparrow. — I have met with 

 this species only at Mineral Creek, in October and November, and in 

 March. 



156. Spizella atrigularis. Black-chinned Sparrow. — Apparently a 

 very rare species throughout the area under consideration. I met with it 

 at the head waters of Mineral Creek on several occasions in October, 1SS2, 

 and once in the Catalina region, Feb. 26, 1S85. 



157. Junco hyemalis. Slate-colored Junco. — A rare species, though 

 of regular occurrence in the Catalina region, which is the only point where 

 I have met with it. I took a male (No. 1576) in Old Hat Canon, Jan. S, 

 1SS5, the only one seen. It was associated with a large flock of other 

 Juncos, the prevailing form being J. hyemalis oregonus. I also took a 

 male Feb. 10, and a female Feb. 11, 1S86, near my house. 



[The two specimens sent are quite indistinguishable from eastern exam- 

 ples. — J. A. A.] 



i57<7. Junco hyemalis oregonus. Oregon Junco. — The commonest 

 form of Junco in the Catalinas during the colder months. They arrive 

 about the last of October and remain till about April 1. 



15S. Junco annectens. Pink-sided Junco. — This does not seem a 

 very common form in the Catalinas, the only peint where I have observed
