region (Mus. Vert. Zool.) ; on the southeastern deserts only within easy reach of 
water, usually less than three miles; on the Farallon Islands (W. E. Bryant, 
Proce. Calif. Acad. Sci., 2nd ser., 1, 1888, p. 47) ; and on the northern members 
of the Santa Barbara group of islands (Santa Cruz and probably adjacent 
islands), but not on San Clemente, Santa Catalina, Santa Barbara, and San 
Nicolas islands where replaced by the race clementis. Wanders in late summer 
up into the highest mountains, as to 9800 feet in the San Bernardino Moun- 
tains (J. Grinnell, Univ. Calif. Publ. Zool., v, 1908, p. 91), and to 9800 feet 
at Whitney Meadows in Sierras of Tulare County (Mus. Vert. Zool.).

Synonyms—Carpodacus frontalis, part; Carpodacus mexicanus frontalis, 
part; Carpodacus clementis; Carpodacus frontalis rhodocolpus, part; Carpo- 
dacus frontalis clementae; San Clemente House Finch. 
Status—Common resident on San Clemente, San Nicolas, Santa Barbara 
and Santa Catalina islands. The characters of this form are most extremely

islands of the Santa Barbara group are variously intermediate toward the 
mainland form (frontalis).

AMERICAN CROSSBILL 
Status—Irregular midwinter visitant: Eureka, Humboldt County (Mus. 
Vert. Zool.) ; Nieasio, Marin County (J. Grinnell, Condor, x1, 1909, p. 102); 
Pasadena (Daggett, Bull. Cooper Orn. Club, 1, 1899, p. 51) ; specimens in these 
cases re-examined by me. Also recorded from Berkeley (J. Grinnell, Condor, 
xvi, 1914, p. 34). It is probable that several of the records under other sub- 
specifie names, for the crossbill in winter in west-central’ California, really 
belong here.
