116 PACIFIC COAST AVIFAUNA No. 11 
interior valleys west of the Sierras. Fairly common in the San Francisco Bay 
region, but scarce in the humid coastal region to the northward, where recorded 
casually to Crescent City (Ferry, Condor, x, 1908, p. 42). North through the 
Sacramento Valley to Baird, and Shasta Valley (Townsend, Proc. U. S. Nat. 
Mus., x, 1887, p. 218; C. H. Merriam, N. Amer. Fauna no. 16, 1899, p. 125), 
west to Scott River, Siskiyou County (Mus. Vert. Zool.) ; also extreme north- 
eastern part of the state to Sugar Hill, Modoe County (Mus. Vert. Zool.) ; and 
breeds in Owens Valley (A. K. Fisher, N. Amer. Fauna no. 7, 1893, p. 87). Com- 
mon in the San Diegan district; irregularly so on the deserts, and as a winter 
visitant only. Casual on Santa Cruz Island (Linton, Condor, x, 1908, p. 128). 
346 (553) Zonotrichia querula (Nuttall) 
Harris SPARROW 
Status—Rare winter visitant; three instances: specimen taken at Haywards, 
October 27, 1900 (Emerson, Condor, 11, 1900, p. 145) ; specimen taken at Smug- 
gler’s Cove, San Clemente Island, October 15, 1907 (Linton, Condor, x, 1908, p. 
84). Both specimens have been examined by me; the former is in the Emerson 
collection (no. 2482), the latter, recently in the Thayer Museum, is now by dona- 
tion from J. E. Thayer, no. 21272, Mus. Vert. Zool. A third instance is that of 
a bird seen repeatedly in late winter (December 25, 1912, to February 11, 1913) 
in Berkeley (A. 8. Allen, Condor, xvu, 1915, p. 80; A. S. Allen, MS). 
347 (554) Zonotrichia leucophrys leucophrys (Forster) 
WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW 
Synonyms—Zonotrichia leucophrys intermedia, part; Zonotrichia leuco- 
phrys var. gambeli, part; Zonotrichia intermedia, part. 
Status—Common summer visitant to the Boreal zone along the Sierra Neva-

tains, Modoe County (Mus. Vert. Zool.) and White Mountains, Inyo County (A. 
K. Fisher, N. Amer. Fauna no. 7, 1893, p. 88). Southernmost breeding station: 
Sirretta Meadows, 9000 feet, southern Sierras, Tulare County (Mus. Vert. Zool.). 
Occurs commonly in migration over the southeastern deserts, sparingly 
through the San Diegan district. Apparently passes in migration entirely east 
of the Sierran divide north of Los Angeles County; at least there are no records 
for central or northern California west of the Sierra Nevada.
