252. Mimus polyglottos (Linn.) MOCKINGBIRD. 



San Diego. L. B. Tolerably common resident; rare 

 above 1,500 feet altitude. 



Santa Catalina Island. F. Stephens. August, 1886, 

 common. 



Poway. F. E. Blaisdell. Not very common; con- 

 stant resident. 



Julian. N. S. Goss. One bird, May 13, 1884. 



San Bernardino. F. Stephens. Common resident; 

 breeds in the valleys. Agua Caliente, several seen 

 probably resident. 



Santa Ana Plains, Los Angeles County. F. E. Blais- 

 dell. December 10-14, common. 



Henshaw, 1876. Along our route from Los Angeles 

 to Santa Barbara it was seen on a few occasions only. 



Cooper, 1870. Salinas Valley near Monterey. 



L. B. It formerly nested in Marysville and in Marys- 

 ville Buttes, and perhaps still does so. I noticed one at 

 Gridley, July 22, 1885. In the foothills of San Joaquin 

 and Calaveras counties it is a rare resident. December 

 17, 1879, I saw four in Captain Meaders' garden at Cop- 

 peropolis, feeding on berries of Californian holly 

 (Heteromeles arbutifolia). I have seen a few at different 

 times here and about twenty miles northward when 

 shooting in winter; in fact, rarely hunt here two or three 

 days without seeing one or more in winter or summer. 



Chico. William Proud. February 10, 1884, one seen. 

 It remained several days. 



253. Galeoscoptes carolinensis (Linn.) CATBIRD. 

 Farallon Islands, near San Francisco. Charles H. 



Townsend (Auk, ii, 215). September 14, 1884, one 

 specimen. 



Fort Walla Walla, Washington Territory. J. W. Wil- 

 liams. June 2, 1885, four birds; again seen June 10, 

 but not afterward; not seen here before.
