send, Proce. U. S. Nat. Mus., x, 1887, p. 218) ; also on the Santa Barbara Islands. 
Occurs elsewhere in the interior during migration; but apparently absent at all 
seasons from the humid coast belt north of San Francisco Bay. 
349 (554b) Zonotrichia leucophrys nuttalli Ridgway 
NutraLL SPARROW 
Synonyms—Zonotrichia gambeli, part; Zonotrichia leucophrys, part; Zono- 
trichia leucophrys gambeli, part; Gambel Sparrow, part; Western White-crowned 
Finch, part. 
Status—Common resident of the narrow northern coastal belt; breeds 
south from Humboldt Bay through the San Francisco and Monterey bay regions 
regularly at least to Port Harford (Willett, Condor, x1, 1909, p. 185), sparingly 
to Santa Barbara (Bowles, Auk, xxvi, 1911, p. 174). Occurs seatteringly in 
winter beyond these limits, interiorly to MeCloud River (Townsend, Proce. U. S. 
Nat. Mus., x, 1887, p. 218), Tracy, San Joaquin County (J. Grinnell, Condor, 
xu, 1911, p. 110), and Modesto, Stanislaus County (Mailliard coll.) ; and south- 
erly to Los Angeles (Swarth, Condor, 1, 1900, p. 39), and Pasadena (Mus. Vert. 
Zool.). J. Mailliard (MS) notes a regular local migration within Marin County, 
from the seacoast, where it breeds abundantly, to the interior, as at San Geron- 
imo, where it winters plentifully. 
350 (557) Zonotrichia coronata (Pallas) 
GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW 
Synonyms—Fringilla aurocapilla; Zonotrichia aurocapilla; Emberiza atri- 
capilla; Zonotrichia atricapilla. 
Status—Common winter visitant, chiefly west of the Sierran divide and 
below altitudes of heavy snows, interiorly east to Alta, Placer County (Mus. 
Vert. Zool.), and Walker Basin, Kern County (Henshaw, Rep. Wheeler Surv., 
1876, p. 242), and south through the San Diegan district to San Diego; also to 
San Clemente, Santa Cruz and Santa Catalina islands. Casually to the Imperial 
Valley (Van Rossem, Condor, xm, 1911, p. 133). The frequent occurrence of 
this sparrow so late in the spring as the first week of May (even to May 9 at 
Pasadena, and June 2 on the Farallones) has probably been the cause of the sev- 
eral questionable breeding records. The only occurrences east of the Sierran 
divide are: Eagle Lake, Lassen County (J. and J. W. Mailliard, MS), and Yermo, 
Mohave Desert, October 14 (Lamb, Condor, xtv, 1912, p. 38). 
351 (558) Zonotrichia albicollis (Gmelin) 
WHITE-THROATED SPARROW 
Status—Rare winter visitant west of the Sierras; 17 specimens have 
been recorded as taken, as follows: Haywards, November 20, 1889 (Emerson, 
Zoe, 1, 1890, p. 45) ; San Francisco, December 23, 1888 (W. E. Bryant, Zoe, 1, 
1890, p. 46) ; Stockton, April 22, 1892 (Belding, Zoe, 11, 1892, p. 117); Santa 
Ynez, December 6, 1891 (A. K. Fisher, N. Amer. Fauna no. 7, 1893, p. 90) ; Pas- 
adena, November 21, 1894 (Gaylord, Nidologist, m1, 1896, p. 106) ; Sonoma, Oc-
