84 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 



summer resident; breeds in the canons of the foothills. 



Colorado Desert. F.Stephens. March, 1886. Young 

 of the year. Rather common, and breeding at my ar- 

 rival (March 18). Resident as a species. 



Henshaw, 1876. None were detected by our parties. 

 [Mr. Henshaw was at Santa Barbara and vicinity the 

 most of the time from June 1 to July 13, during that 

 time visiting Los Angeles, and the fact that neither of 

 the naturalists of the party or parties met with costce 

 sufficiently indicates its rarity so far north. Mr. Ever- 

 mann, Auk, 1886, page 179, says " I have but one speci- 

 men obtained in Ventura County." He collected two 

 years in that county.] 



Cooper, 1870. At San Diego, in the backward spring 

 of 1862, I first saw them April 22, and have since found 

 them north to San Francisco, where, however, they are 

 rare. I did not observe any at Fort Mojave until March 

 5, and they were not numerous afterward. 



93. Trochilus anna (Less.) ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRD. 



San Diego to San Pedro Mountain, May 9-20, 1885, 

 tolerably common on the entire route. San Diego, tol- 

 erably common summer resident; more common in 

 winter. L. B. 



San Diego. B. F. Goss. March 8, 1884, juveniles, 

 two-thirds grown. 



Poway. F. E. Blaisdell. Common summer resident. 



San Jose. A. L. Parkhurst. Mating February 4, 

 1885. 



Volcan Mountains. W. 0. Emerson. March 11, a 

 bright warm morning, with a light layer of snow o.n the 

 ground, a hummingbird darted by me on its way down 

 the canon. From its size, color, dark throat and head, 

 it could be no other at this altitude (6,000 feet) than the 

 hardy little anna.
