Cistotliorus sletlaris. 



Thryothorus bewicki, var. leucogaster (I, 



147). Spociuiens of tliis form were obtained at 

 Toqiierville, Southern Utah, in October, 1872, by 

 Mr. Ilcnshaw, attached to Lieutenant Wheelers ex- 

 pcdition. 



Troglod3rtes parvulus, var. hyemalis (I, 



155). Dr. Cooper has noticed a few of these Wrens 

 Tr„^io,i!,„s,mn-uiu,,yaT./„ja„aii,. ^^^.^j. ^,„j Buenavcntura in winter, after November 



10. They probably reside in tlie suuuuer in the liigh coast mountains lying east 



as well as in the Sierra Nevada. Outlines, omitted before, are liere given. 



CiStOthoruB Stellaris (I, 15t)). .Mr. Ucnsiiaw obtained good evidence of this 



l)ii(l's breedinif at Utah Luke. Nests and eggs were 



found in a farm-house, unquestionably those of tiiis 



species, and said to have been obtained among the 



tules or sedges along the shore of the lake. Outlines 



of this species are here given. 



Anthus ludovicianus (I, 171). Mr. Allen 



found this .species breeding in the summer of 1871 on 

 the summit of .Mt. Lincoln, Colorado Territory, above 

 the timber-line, at an .lititude of over l.'J.OOO feet. 



Helmitherus vermivorus (I, 187). Professor Frank H. Snow procured a 

 specimen of this species near Lawrence, Kansas, May G, 1873. 



Helmitherus swainsoni (f, 190). Was obtained in Florida by Mr. W. 

 Thiixter. 



Helminthophaga virginiae (1, 199). Very common in El Paso County, 

 Colorado, where it was oi)taineil by Mr. Aiken. 



Helminthophaga luciee (I, 200). We are indebted to Captain Bendire for 

 the discovery of the nest and eggs of this comparatively new Warbler. Hr first 

 met with its nest near Tucson, Arizona, May 19, 1872. Unlike all the rest of 

 this genus, which, so far as is known, build their ne.sts on the ground, this species 

 was found nesting something after the maniio" of the common <'.ray Creeper, be- 

 tween the loose baik and tiie trunk of a dead tree, a few feet from the ground.. 

 Except in the .• smaller size the eggs also l)ear a great resemblance to those of the 

 Creeper. In shape they are nearly si)herical, their ground is of a crystal white- 

 ness, spotted, chiefly aronn<l the lai'ger end, with <]ne dottings of a purplish jd. 

 They measure .5-1 of an inch in length by .4.') in breadth. 



Helmiathophaga celata, var. lutescens (1, 204). See Am. Nat. Vol. VII, 

 October, 187:5, p. (iOG. 



Helminthophaga peregrina (1, 205). Obtained in EI Paso County, Colo- 

 rado, in Septemlier, 187.'i, by .Mr. Aiken. 



Parula americana (1, 208). Obtained in May in El Paso County, Colorado, 

 by .Mr. Aiken. 



Dendroica vieilloti, var. bryanti (I, 218). See Am. Nat. VII, October, 



1873. p. (JOO.
