Thryomanes bewicki eremophilus.' Among the large series of 

 Texas Wrens collected, one skin was found that could not be allocated, 

 it being much paler in plumage than cryptus, the common resident form, 

 and also differed from bairdi. On being sent to the Biological Survey, it 

 was pronounced by Mr. Oberholser to be eremophilus, and he informs me 

 that it must be considered as a rare or casual visitant to the region. The 

 example in question was taken March 12. 



Troglodytes aedon parkmani. Western House Wren. — A rather 

 common winter visitant. A bird shot April 24, appears to record an unus- 

 ually late date for the bird so far south. 



Certhia familiaris americana. Brown Creeper. — One shot at 

 the edge of a cedar brake, April 2; not otherwise noted. 



Regulus satrapa satrapa. Golden-crowned Kinglet. — I found it 

 present nearly throughout the winter, usually outnumbering R. calendula. 

 It is probably of irregular irruption, as Mr. Lacey told me he missed it 

 some years entirely. The last individuals were observed April 2. 



Hylocichla ustulata swainsoni. Olive-backed Thrush. — A single 

 bird shot May 17, as it was perching in the underbrush of a heavily wooded 

 draw, adds another species to the county list. 



Hylocichla guttata pallasi. Hermit Thrush. 



Hylocichla guttata sequoiensis. Sierra Hermit Thrush. — These 

 two forms of the Hermit Thrush were commonly present throughout the 

 winter; the latter variety remaining until April 16. 



Planesticus migratorius propinquus. Western Robin. — A bird 

 shot March 18 is identifiable as above. P. migratorius, the eastern form, 

 is a common winter visitant; departing April 13, in 1915. 



'This race is not regarded as separable from bairdi in the A. O. U. Check-List.
