BIRDS OF THE PACIFIC DISTRICT. 163 



Camp Harney. Beiidire. A not very abundant sum- 

 mer resident; none remain through the winter. 



181. Peucaea ruficeps (Cass.) RUFOUS-CROWNED SPAR- 

 ROW. 



Poway. F. E. Blaisdell. Noticed January 27, 1884; 

 April 16, I shot a female, which appeared to have a nest. 

 I have seen no more than eight individuals here this 

 season. 



Cooper, 1870. I have only met with this species on 

 Catalina Island in June, a few keeping about the low 

 bushes.

Nicasio. C. A. Allen. Common every season in their 

 favorite spots on the mountain sides.

 tude 3,000 feet; rare. I occasionally see it lower down 

 in Calaveras County in winter. 



Coif ax. November 19, 1884, one specimen; several 

 seen. This should carry it to the head of Sacramento 

 Valley, only a few hundred feet above sea level, in suita- 

 ble localities.

 the spring of 1852 in the mountains near the Calaveras
