  Mr. 
  Rhoads 
  made 
  an 
  ornithological 
  tour 
  in 
  Florida, 
  Texas, 
  

   and 
  Arizona 
  in 
  the 
  spring 
  of 
  1891, 
  and 
  gives 
  us 
  an 
  agreeable 
  

   account 
  of 
  it. 
  His 
  camp 
  on 
  Mount 
  Lemon, 
  in 
  Arizona, 
  at 
  

   7000 
  feet 
  altitude, 
  must 
  have 
  been 
  a 
  delightful 
  experience 
  ! 
  

   In 
  Southern 
  Texas 
  birds, 
  especially 
  Passeres, 
  are 
  said 
  to 
  be 
  

   abundant 
  everywhere, 
  in 
  spite 
  of 
  the 
  drouth. 
  This 
  is 
  attri- 
  

   buted 
  to 
  the 
  recent 
  vast 
  extension 
  of 
  tree-covered 
  areas 
  into 
  

   the 
  prairies, 
  and 
  to 
  the 
  increase 
  of 
  insect 
  and 
  vegetable 
  food 
  

   resulting 
  therefrom. 
  Mr. 
  Rhoads 
  found 
  specimens 
  of 
  Larus 
  

   franklini 
  in 
  Texas 
  on 
  June 
  1st, 
  and 
  two 
  large 
  flocks 
  of 
  Rosy 
  

   Spoonbills 
  (Ajaja 
  rosea) 
  on 
  the 
  Nueces 
  river 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  

   May. 
  In 
  Texas 
  he 
  met 
  with 
  examples 
  of 
  100 
  species 
  of 
  birds, 
  

   in 
  Arizona 
  of 
  124, 
  on 
  all 
  of 
  which 
  field-notes 
  are 
  given. 
  

   In 
  the 
  pine-belt 
  of 
  the 
  Catalina 
  Mountains 
  in 
  Arizona, 
  

   Mr. 
  Rhoads 
  obtained 
  an 
  adult 
  male 
  of 
  the 
  Rivoli 
  Humming- 
  

   bird 
  [Eugenes 
  fulgens), 
  believed 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  most 
  northern 
  

   record 
  of 
  this 
  species, 
  which, 
  the 
  season 
  of 
  its 
  capture 
  being 
  

   considered, 
  was 
  probably 
  breeding 
  there. 
  Other 
  scarce 
  species 
  

   met 
  with 
  in 
  Arizona 
  were 
  Peucaea 
  arizonce 
  and 
  Auriparus 
  

   flaviceps, 
  the 
  latter 
  abundantly 
  near 
  Tucson.

  Mr. 
  Ridgway 
  kindly 
  sends 
  us 
  a 
  separate 
  copy 
  of 
  his 
  pane- 
  

   gyric 
  on 
  the 
  Humming-birds, 
  extracted 
  from 
  the 
  report 
  of 
  

   the 
  National 
  Museum 
  of 
  the 
  U. 
  S. 
  for 
  1890. 
  After 
  singing 
  

   its 
  praises 
  in 
  an 
  introduction, 
  the 
  author 
  treats 
  of 
  the 
  early 
  

   history,
