Walla Walla. J. W. Williams. This bird was first 

 seen here May 20, 1885; six individuals noticed, and 

 afterward every day. It became common May 25. 

 Young seen in June and July; August 19, (date of re- 

 port), still present. 



Suckley, 1860. I found it at Puget Sound where I 

 obtained several skins. Among the cotton wood trees 

 fringing the lakes of Nisqually Plains, August 5, 1853, I 

 obtained a nest containing nearly fledged young. 



British Columbia. John Fannin. Very rare summer 

 resident. 



100. Tyrannus verticalis Say. ARKANSAS KINGBIRD. 



Winters entirely south of California, though not de- 

 tected by me in the Cape region, nor does Xantus appear 

 to have found it there. I found a pair at San Quintin 

 Bay, May 8, 1881, and shot one of them. Very few ap- 

 pear to breed south of San Diego, as it was rare at Campo 

 and southward in May, 1884. San Diego, March 25, 

 first a male specimen; April 1, both sexes common.
