 16, 1885 (Smith). First record for Colorado. 



Junco hyemalis montanus. Montana Junco. — One, November 27, 

 1907, Gaume's Ranch, Baca County (Cary). One of the most widely 

 distributed Juncos in the State during the winter. 



Junco phseonotus caniceps. Gray-headed Junco. — One was taken 

 January 18, 1904, at Boulder and sent to the Biological Survey for identi- 

 fication. Most northern record in winter. 



Amphispiza bilineata deserticola. Desert Sparrow. — Tolerably com- 

 mon breeder at Gaume's Ranch. Baca County; taken there May 18-25, 

 1905 (Warren). This is a large extension of the known range eastward. 



Amphispiza nevadensis. Sage Sparrow. — One, March 18, 1904, near 

 Boulder (Dille). This is the first record in Colorado east of the front range. 



Peucaea cassini. Cassin's Sparrow. — It had been expected that tins 

 species would be found in Colorado, and the first record for the State came 

 from the southeastern corner where it was most likely to occur — near 

 Springfield, May 27. 1905 (Warren). But an entirely unexpected exten- 

 sion of the known range was the finding of the species breeding at Barr. 

 Eggs were taken there July 14, 1907. (Hersey and Rockwell). 



Aimophila ruficeps scotti. Scott's Sparrow. — One near Trinidad, 

 September 17, 1903 (Howell). This is the first record for Colorado and the 

 most northern record for this subspecies. 



Melospiza georgiana. Swamp Sparrow. — One was taken October 2, 

 1907, near Mosca (Cary). This is the second record for the State and the 

 first west of the mountains. 



Passerella iliaca schistacea. Slate-colored Sparrow. — Three, spring 

 of 1906, near Fort Lewis in southwestern Colorado (Gilman). These are 

 the first reported from that part of the State. 



Pipilo maculatus montanus. Mol t ntain Towhee. — Many years ago 

 Thorne published the statement that tins form sometimes occurred at 

 Fort Lyon. That eastward record has lately been exceeded by the taking 

 of a specimen April 28, 1905, at Monon. close to the Kansas line (Warren). 

 One, taken at Lamar, May 17, 1907, by H. G. Smith was sent to the Biolog- 

 ical Survey for identification. The Mountain Towhee is of course only a 

 migrant on the plains.
