172 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 



Henshaw, 1876. Spread in great numbers over the 

 southern half of California. On Santa Cruz Island one 

 of the most numerous species. 



Cooper, 1870. Santa Catalina and San Clemeiite 

 Islands. 



Alameda and Contra Costa counties. W. E. Bryant. 

 Common resident. 



Berkeley. T. S. Palmer. Common resident. 



Central California. L. B. Common resident below 

 the pine forests; common summer resident in these to 

 7,000 or 8,000 feet altitude; partly migratory in upper 

 Sacramento Valley. Specimens obtained here in winter 

 inclining to oregonus; none typical of it. 



Henshaw, 1879. The only form of the towhee met 

 with by us; extre-mely numerous along the eastern slope 

 as high as the Columbia River. I fully agree with Mr. 

 Ridgway that specimens found along the eastern slope 

 of the Sierra, are absolutely indistinguishable by external 

 characters from megalonyx. 



WallaWalla. Brewster (Bull. N. 0. C., vol. vii, page 

 225). Nearly typical but showing slight approaches to 

 var oregonus. 



195. Pipilo maculatus oregonus (Bell). OREGON TOW- 

 HEE. 



British Columbia. John Fannin. Abundant resi- 

 dent. 



Cooper, 1860. A constant resident of Washington 

 Territory but does not frequent the coast except in 

 winter. 



Willamette Valley. 0. B. Johnson. A common con- 

 stant resident. 



Beaverton, A. W. Anthony. Common resident. 

 (Identification correct.)
