10. Polioptila cccrulea (L.) Blue-gray Flycatcher. 



Met with first a little south of Apache, Ariz., and an occasional indi- 

 vidual seen afterward, usually among the oak-trees. Their habits at 

 this season are much like the warblers. They were very active, passing 

 rapidly in and out among the small branches, and seeming in such hurry 

 as to scarcely, begin their examination of one tree ere they were off to 

 another. Now and then I saw one catching insects on the wing. 



(the Titmice). 



11. Lopliophanes inornatus (Gamb.) Gray-tufted Titmouse. 

 Common. Is found chiefly among the pinons and scrub cedars, and 



also in Southern Arizona frequents the oaks. Usually goes in small 

 flocks. 



12. Loplioplianes wolliceberi, Bp. Wollweber's Titmouse. 



A small number was met with at Apache, Ariz., in a grove of scat- 

 tered oaks, and in company with a large flock of the succeeding species. 



13. Parus montanus, Garnb. Mountain-Chickadee. 



Frequently met with, chiefly among the heavy pines 5 also found 

 among the oaks. Barely seen in large flocks, but during the fall a few 

 are certain to be seen accompanying each flock of warblers, nuthatches, 

 &c. Habits and notes do not differ essentially from those of its con- 

 geners. 



14. Psaltriparus minimus (Towns.), var. plunibeus, Bd. Lead-colored 

 Titmouse. 



Not found at all in the heavy pines, but elsewhere abundant, and in 

 fall and winter in very large flocks. One of the most active of the fam- 

 ily ; constantly on the move from tree to tree, searching for insects. 

 Perfectly fearless and unsuspicious. 



15. Auriparus flaviceps (Sund.) Yellow-headed Titmouse; Yerdin. 



A single specimen was taken at old Camp Goodwin, Ariz., and occa- 

 sionally an individual was met with among the mezquite-trees along 

 the Gila River. Their habits, so far as observed, seemed to resemble 

 those of the titmice, as do also its great variety of notes.
