the name P. megalonyx at Pueblo Creek. Probably also by McCall, 1 

 P. arcticus, at Santa Fe. 



Zamelodia melanocephala (Swainson). Black-headed Grosbeak. 

 A single pair raised a brood near camp at El Rito de los Frijoles 



Passer domesticus (Linn.). English Sparrow. 



Introduced into the territory since 1886. Apt to be found now in 

 all the more important towns, but probably not in the uninhabited 

 canyon and mesa regions; certainly unknown to the ancient inhab 

 itants. 



Iridoprocne bicolor (Vieillot). Tree Swallow. 



Tachycineta thalassina lepida Mearns. Northern Violet-green 



Swallow. 



Several times birds of one or the other of these two species were 

 seen at El Rito de los Frijoles, but we could seldom get a good view of 

 them. Our impression is that the latter was represented, and probably 

 both. The former was reported by McCall 2 as nesting at Santa Fe. 



Dendroica auduboni auduboni (Townsend). Audubon s Warbler. 

 Common on August 20, 1910, at the foot of the Jemez Mountains, 

 near the headwaters of El Rito de los Frijoles. 



?- 



Geothlypis trichas occidentalis Brewster. Western Yellow-throat. 



Our Indian informants describe this species by its color, song, and 



habits, as a bird living along the Rio Grande in this region, and when 



shown a colored figure of it with pictures of other warblers they at 



once recognized it. 



Doubtless other species of the wood warbler family pass through 

 in migration and probably some nest ifl this region, but no records 

 are at hand. 



fag. 



Mimus polyglottos leucopterus (Vigors). Western Mockingbird. 

 Reported near San Ildefonso by one of our Indian informants, who 

 seemed quite familiar with the bird, knew the white man s name for i 

 it, and described its song as the song of all other birds combined. 

 The whites report it at Santa Fe.
