BIRDS OF THE PACIFIC DISTRICT. 147 



166. Chondestes grammacus strigatus (Swains.) WEST- 

 ERN LARK SPARROW. 



San Diego. Common resident. L. B. 



Poway. F. E. Blaisdell. Common resident. 



Volcan Mountains. W. 0. Emerson. Altitude 6,000 

 feet, February 24, large flocks feeding with shore larks 

 on open flats; seen off and on during my stay on the 

 Volcan; common all through Santa Isabel and Santa 

 Maria valleys. 



San Bernardino. F. Stephens. Common resident of 

 the valley. 



Santa Cruz. Joseph Skirm. Common resident. 



Alameda City. A. M. Ingersoll. Several seen De- 

 cember 31. 



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

 Tolerably common resident. 



Berkeley. T. S. Palmer. Summer resident. First 

 seen March 22; next seen March 25; common April 20, 

 1886. 



Sebastopol. F. H. Holmes. Abundant summer resi- 

 dent. March 4, 1885, first; March 15, common. I 

 think it does not winter here. 



Ukiah. G. E. Aull. Abundant resident. 



Central California. L. B. Common constant resi- 

 dent of the valleys and foothills, including Murphys and 

 Colfax, both about 2,500 feet altitude, and rather com- 

 mon at Red Bluff, February 3-5, 1885. Perhaps our 

 birds go south in winter and those from Oregon take 

 their places, but the species is here at all times. 



Willamette Valley. 0. B. Johnson. Sparingly com- 

 mon during the summer. 



Suckley, 1860. One specimen at Fort Dalles; not
