 LECTED IN NORTHEASTERN SONORA AND 

 NORTHWESTERN CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO, ON 

 THE LUMHOLTZ ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPEDI- 

 TION, 1890-92. 



By J. A. ALLEN. 



The expedition of Dr. Carl Lumholtz, under the auspices of the 

 American Museum of Natural History, was primarily undertaken 

 for research in the line of archaeology. During the first two 

 years of its work, however, some attention was given to general 

 natural history, collections being made in zoology and botany. 

 While only about fifty-five mammals were collected, they possess 

 considerable interest. About one thousand birds were obtained, 

 representing one hundred and sixty-two species. Unfortunately, 

 however, most of the ornithological work appears to have been 

 done during fall and winter, and thus the results are less 

 satisfactory than would have been the case had collecting been 

 more actively carried on during summer. The bulk of the 

 collection consists of North American species, but the record of 

 localities given below often affords definite information of much 

 interest respecting their winter distribution. 



The expedition set out from Bisbee, in southeastern Arizona, 

 early in September, 1890, proceeding southward about two hundred 

 and twenty-five miles to Bacadehuachy and Nacory, on the Rio 

 Yaqui, passing the following places in the order named: San 

 Pedro (32 miles south of Bisbee), Los Trincheras, Santa Barbara, 

 Fronteras, Cachuta (102 miles south of Bisbee), Los Trinitas 

 (129 miles south of Bisbee), Los Pinitos, Los Cuevas (alt. 

 1750-2300 feet), Oputo, Granados, Bacadehuachy (the last three 

 on the Rio Yaqui). Thence turning eastward toward and 

 across the Sierra Madre the following were passed: Nacory 

 (alt. 3400 feet), Heurachi (alt. 4000 feet), Napolera, El Puerto 

 (alt. 6300 feet), Bavispee River (on its extreme upper course), 

 Rancheria de los Apaches (alt. 6620 feet), Chuhuachupa, Tachico 

 (alt. 2000 feet), to San Diego (alt. 4000 feet) on the eastern
