43. ^gialitis vocifera. KiLi.DKr.R. — Common resident. 



44. Colinus virginianus texanus. Texan Bohwhite — Abuiuhuit les- 

 idciit. 



45. Callipepla squamata castaneogastris. Chestnut-bellied Scaled 

 Partridge. — Common in several localities in the southern part of the 

 coiintv, commencini,' fifteen miles souihuest of San Antonio, which is 

 ahont their northern iiiiiit in this rc-^ion. 



46. Meleagris gallopavo mexicana. Mexican Turkey. -- Common 

 resident in suitable localities, but much less numerous than formerly. I 

 refer these birds to tiiis species on the anthorily of Mr. Mordeu, who was 

 well acquainted with tiie northern form.* 



47. Zenaidura macroura. Mourning Dovic. — Common summer resi- 

 dent; not so numerous in the middle of winter, but particularly abundant 

 during migr.-itions. 



4S. Melopeha leucoptera. White-winged Dove. — Rare summer vis- 

 itor, and probably breeds. 



49. Columbigallina passerina. Ground Dove. — Occasif)iiall v noticed 

 in winter round the camp yards and ranches. 



50. Scardafella inca. Inca Dove. —In the month of April, 1891, my 

 attention vva.s called to a strange Dove, which was frequently seen on one 

 of the streets in the city. I got quite close to it on several occasions, l)ut 

 could not shoot at it. When Mr. Frank M. Chapman called to see me, I 

 rnentioned the circumstance to him, and asked him to send me a specimen 

 of 5. inca to compare with it. which be kindly did on bis return. F.v this 

 the live bird was easily idi-n titled. It stayed around for some weeks, but 

 disappeared some time late in Ma\ .

 ^2. Catharista atrata. lii.ACK Vulture. — Common resident.

 summer resident. They breed on the Medina River in the tallest cotton- 

 wood and pecan trees.

 early part of the winter. 



55. Ictinia mississippiensis. MississiPi'i Kite. — Occasionally seen 

 during migrations. 



56. Circus hudsonius. Marsh 1 Iawk. — Abundant in winter. It is 

 probable that some stay all summer ami may breed not far from this 

 point, as I have noticed them occasionally in the summer months. 



57. Accipiter velox. Shari'-shinned Hawk. — Comiufui during fall and 

 winter months. 



58. Accipiter cooperi. Cooper's Hawk. — Rare in winter.

* [This is probably Mr. Sennetfs M.^^. elliofi, describQd in the last number of 

 'The Auk' (Vol. IX, p. 167), as evidence of its occurrence in Cooke County, Texas, 

 has recently been received through specimens sent for examination by Mr. George 

 H. Ragsdale. — J. A. Allkn.]
