60 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 



Suckley, 1860. A winter resident of Fort Dalles and 

 Fort Steilacoom. 



Henshaw, 1879. Numerous as a resident of the 

 pineries. 



Camp Harney. Bendire. Sparingly distributed 

 through the forests of the Blue Mountains in summer; 

 in spring and fall they frequent the shrubbery along 

 creeks in the valleys and a few winter in such localities. 



Ridgway. Met with in all wooded localities through- 

 out the year, from the Sierra Nevada eastward. 



Hoffman. Not uncommon in the timbered districts 

 over the greater portion of Nevada; none were seen in 

 the southern regions. 



66. Dry obates pubescens (Linn.) DOWNY WOODPECKER. 

 Marysville, winter of 1877-78, a typical specimen; 



same locality, December 21, 1884, typical female; on 

 the following day another typical female and one nearly 

 so. These latter were the first and only ones of either 

 the downy or Gairdner's woodpeckers shot here in 1884, 

 -and they were not selected. Mr. A. W. Anthony sent 

 me one he shot at Beaverton, Oregon, and that, too, was 

 nearly typical. The specimen of 1877-78 is No. 73,606 

 of the Smithsonian collection. L. B. 



67. Dryobates pubescens gairdnerii (And.) GAIRDNEK'S 



WOODPECKER. 



San Bernardino. F. Stephens. Rare accidental visit- 

 ant to the valley. 



Henshaw, 1876. Not so arboreal as the Harris's wood- 

 pecker. We do not find it among the high mountains 

 of California, save occasionally, but with the Nuttall's it 

 resorts to the low districts and frequents to a great ex- 

 tent the deciduous timber, especially the oaks. Santa 

 Barbara, July 6, juvenile.
