the name P. megalonyx at Pueblo Creek. Probably also by MeCall/ 

 P. arcticus, at Santa Fe. 



Zamelodia melanocephala (Swainson). Black-headed Grosbeak. 

 A single pair raised a brood near camp at El Rito de los Frijoles 



? 



Passer domesticus (Linn.). EngUsh Sparrow. 

 Introduced into the territory since 1886. Apt to be found now in 

 all the more important towns, but probably not in the uninhabited 

 canyon and mesa regions; certainly unknown to the ancient inhab- 

 itants. 



Iridoprocne bicolor (Vieillot). Tree Swallow. 



Tachycineta thalassina lepida Mearns. Northern Violet-green 



Swallow. 



Several times birds of one or the other of these two species were 



seen at El Rito de los Frijoles, but we could seldom get a good view of 



them. Our imjjression is that the latter was represented, and probably 



botli. The former was reported by McCall- as nesting at Santa Fe. 



? 



Dendroica auduhoni auduhoni (Townsend). Audubon's Warbler. 

 Common on August 20, 1910, at the foot of the Jeniez Mountains, 

 near the headwaters of El Rito de los Frijoles. 



GeotMypis trichas occidentalis Brewster. Western Yellow-throat. 



Our Indian informants describe this species by its color, song, and 

 habits, as a bird living along the Rio Grande in this region, and when 

 shown a colored figure of it with pictures of other warblers they at 

 once recognized it. 



Doubtless other species of the wood warbler family pass through 

 in migration and probably some nest in this region, but no records 

 are at hand. 



Jy,-7j. 



Mimus polyglottos leucopterus (Vigors). Western Mockingbird. 



Reported near San Ildefonso by one of our Indian informants, who 



seemed quite familiar mth the bird, knew the white man's name for 



it, and described its song as the song of all other birds combined. 



The whites report it at Santa Fe. 



? 



Salpinctes obsoletus ohsoletus [Say]. Rock Wren.
