68 Brewster 072 a Collection of Arizona Birds. 



ble to var. luialascce. In fact it gives nearly the same measure- 

 ments as the smallest extreme in the large series examined by 

 Mr. Henshaw.* Mr. Stephens marks it as the first which he 

 has seen in Arizona where, however, it was found sparingly by 

 Mr. Henshaw in October, 1873. 



283, ? ad., Tucson, April 25. Length, 6.40; extent, 10.10; wing. 3.26; 

 tail, 2.61 ; culmen, .52. "Bill dark brown, yellowish at base of lower 

 mandible; legs pale brownish ; iris brown." 



2. Turdus ustulatus Nutt. Russet-backed Thrush. — 

 Under this heading I include with some hesitation, a Thrush killed 

 May 17, in the Santa Rita Mountains. The specimen unfor- 

 tunately was one of thi-ee or four which were accidentally 

 destroyed while in the collector's possession, but Mr. Stephens 

 is positive that it was referable to the above variety. As he is 

 perfectly familiar with ustulatus., having previously met with 

 it in California, there can, I think, be little doubt of the cor- 

 rectness of his determination. This record, if accepted, will 

 make the first for Arizona. 



397, $ ad., Santa Rita Mountains, May 17. Length, 6.90; extent, 10.70; 

 "Iris dark brown; bill black, bi-ownish at base of lower mandible; legs 

 very pale brown." 



3. Turdus niigratorius propinquus Ridg-w. Western 

 Robin. — Robins were met with only in or near the Chiricahua 

 Mountains, where perhaps a dozen individuals were seen. Tiie 

 one mentioned, below is typical of the slightly differentiated, but 

 still apparently constant western race. 



75, $ ad., Morse's Mill, March 20. Length, 10; extent, 16.40; wing, 

 5. 38; tail, 4.36. "Iris dark brown." 



4. Oreoscoptes montanus ( TT^-ixwj-.) ^<7/r^/. Mountain 

 Mockingbird. There is no mention of this species among the 

 notes made during the late trip. 



6313 (author's coll.), $ ud., San Pedro River, Dec. 25, 1880. 

 Length, 8.90; extent, 12.40. 



5. Mimus polyglottus {Linn.) Boic. Mockingbird. — 

 "Generally distributed and common, but not as abundant as in 

 Southern California" (Camp Lowell). "Common in the val- 

 leys ; thev are found but a short distance up the foot-hills of the 

 mountain ranges" (near Tombstone). 



181, $ ad., near Tombstone, April 8. Lengtli, 9.80; extent. 13.10: 

 wing, 4.30; tail, 5.03.
