(Jump Harney. Bendire. Very common in the early 

 spring. 



Ridgway. Abundant in every moist meadow and 

 grassy marsh, from March to November inclusive. 



161. Ammodramus sandwichensis bryanti Ridgw. 

 BRYANT'S MARSH SPARROW. 



Oakland and vicinity. W. E. Bryant. Common 

 resident. L. B. Probably some of the notes under A. 

 s. alaudinus belong here, and possibly some of those 

 under A. sandwichensis belong to A. s. alaudinus.

 A. s. bryanti.

Todos Santos Islands. Dr. Streets (Bull. 7, Nat. Mus.) 

 one specimen. These islands are about sixty miles

San Diego Bay. L. B. Very common resident. 



Santa Barbara. Henshaw, 1876. June and July, 13

 suppose this to be the northern limit of its range, while 

 San Quintin Bay is the most southern point known. 

 It was mated at San Diego, March 25, 18S">, where, 

 April 4, I found a nest and two eggs, bird sitting four 

 or five days. The first young out of nest May 1st. No
