juveniles taken July 23. Some specimens examined by Mr. William 

 Brewster he reports as " perhaps approaching A. saiid-vichcnsisr 



89. Chondestes grammacus strigatus. — Common. Breeds. 



90. Zonotrichia querula.— Not common. Seen only in the fall of 1S89 

 (September 22 to October 13). All I took were juveniles. 



91. Zonotrichia leucophrys.— Not common. Mostly seen in spring, a 



few in fall. 



92. Zonotrichia leucophrys intermedia.— Tolerably common in spring 



and fall. 



93. Spizella monticola ochracea.— Usually abundant during the colder 

 months. The winter of 18S9-90 was an exception, as none were seen in 

 December, January and February. The dates of their arrivals and 

 departures vary fully a month in different years. 



94. Spizella "sociaiis arizonae.— Common. Breeds. Found also in the 

 pine region at Lame Deer, Montana. Mr. Brewster says my Colorado 

 specime^'ns are " not typical " ; these appear to be the same as the Colorado 



specimens. 



95. Spizella pallida.— Common. Breeds. They seem to disappear 

 about May 22 and are not seen again until the middle of July, when 

 juveniles are taken. The year 1888 was an exception to this, adults being 

 seen throughout May, June and July. 



96. Spizella breweri.— Common. Breeds. Nests with eggs found by 



June 16. 



97. Junco hyemalis.— Not common. Breeds. At Lame Deer, Mon- 

 tana, more common ; found there in May, June and July. 



98. Melospiza fasciata.— Rare. One female taken April 17, 1889. 



99. Melospiza lincolni.-Rare. One male May 6 ; one female May 10, 

 1889. No others recognized. 



100. Pipilo maculatus arcticus.— Common. Breeds. 



loi. Habia melanocephala.— Tolerably common. Breeds. 



102. Passerina amcEna. Rare. Five seen, none taken. 



103. Calamospiza melanocorys.— Abundant. Breeds. 



104. Petrochelidon lunifrons.— Abundant. Breeds. Large colonies 

 formerly built under cliffs in the Bad Lands, as is shown by the remains 

 of their'old nests. All now nest about buildings. 



105. Chelidon erythrogaster.- Common.. Breeds. 



106. Tachycineta bicolor.— Tolerably common. Some pairs nest in the 



Post. . .^ . ^ 



107 Clivicola riparia.-I have not taken it but there is evidence that a 

 large colony of what I believe to be this bird formerly nested in a bluff 

 on the left bank of the river. This bluff was in range with the targets on 

 the rifle range, which was probably the reason it was abandoned. 



108. Ampelis garrulus.— Abundant at times in winter. Seem erratic in 

 their movements and to vary greatly in numbers in ditterent years. I 

 have examined the stomachs of a good many and their food while here 

 seems to consist almost entirely of berries of the wild rose. They open
