102. Tyrannous vociferans, Sw. Cassin's Flycatcher. 



A rather common species among the sage-brush about Fort Wingate. 

 Frequents also the open, brushy ravines, and altogether seemed to be 

 less of a tree loving species than the preceding. Noted, also, at various 

 points in Eastern Arizona to Fort Bowie. 



103. Myiarchus crinltus (L.), var. cinerascens, Lawr. Ash-throated Fly- 

 catcher. 

 Less abundant than the preceding, but inhabiting much the same 



region. In choice of localities, it evinced a similar taste, as it affected 



the open plains and creek-bottoms grown up to brush rather than the 



more densely-wooded districts. 



104. Sayornis nigricans, (Sw.) Black Flycatcher. 



Present throughout Eastern Arizona, where it is a common inhabi- 

 tant of the brush-lined streams, and is to be seen constantly in pursuit 

 of flying insects. Its habits seem to correspond pretty closely with 

 those of the eastern pewee (S.fuscus). 



105. Sayornis sayus, (Bon.) Say's Flycatcher. 



In the neighborhood of Wingate, in July, both the old and young of 

 this flycatcher were abundant. For the most part, they were found 

 inhabiting the open sage-brush, or the open and rocky hill-sides scantily 

 clothed with brush and a few scattering pinou-trees.
