81. Dendroica auduboni. Audubon's Warbler. — A female was 

 taken at Tepic, apparently migrating northward. 



82. Icteria virens longicauda. Long-tailed Chat. — A male was 

 taken at Tepic during the migration of small birds. 



83. Mimus polyglottos leucopterus. Western Mockingbird. — A 

 pair were seen at Tepie, but not secured. 



S4. Cardinalis cardinalis mariae. Tres Marias Cardinal. — One 

 specimen, a male, was saved from the specimens taken on Cleofa Island 

 March 10 and 17 but it is very much bedraggled. This bird I generally 

 found down toward the shore of the island near the little fresh-water 

 streams, and it was generally as tame as the Grayson's Oriole. 



85. Pheugopedius felix. Happy Wren. — This little bird was very 

 common around San Bias and fairly common around Tepic. Numbers 

 of nests of this species were discovered, generally in the lower limbs of the 

 thorny trees occupied by the orioles and Derby Flycatchers. The nest 

 was generally a long tube constructed of fine grass and stopped up at one 

 end. This was bent over a limb and a few grasses fastened it in place or 

 kept it from slipping over after the little wren had entered by the other 

 end. In other words, the nest was a complete elbow, the entrance on 

 the under side of one end, while over the limb and down in the other end 

 was the nest proper, where the eggs were deposited. I must have examined 

 at least twenty of these nests, but up to the time of my departure none 

 had eggs, while all seemed finished.
