384 (583) Melospiza lincolni lincolni Audubon 
LINCOLN SPARROW 
Synonyms—Peucaca lincolni; Lincoln Finch. 
Status—Common summer visitant locally to the Canadian zone along the 
central Sierra Nevada, from Mount Whitney region (Mus. Vert. Zool.) to Mount 
Shasta (C. H. Merriam, N. Amer. Fauna no. 16, 1899, p. 126) ; also on the Trin- 
ity Mountains (Mus. Vert. Zool.), South Yolla Bolly Mountain (Mus. Vert. 
Zool.), Warner Mountains, Modoc County (Mus. Vert. Zool.) ; and, in southern 
California, on the San Bernardino and San Jacinto mountains (Mus. Vert. Zool. ; 
J. Grinnell and Swarth, Univ. Calif. Publ. Zool., x, 1913, p. 280). Winters in 
the San Joaquin Valley (J. Mailliard, Condor, xiv, 1912, p. 74), in the San 
Diegan district, on Santa Catalina Island, and on suitable parts of the Colorado 
Desert; widely distributed elsewhere in migration, but most numerous through 
the interior. 
385 (583a) Melospiza lincolni gracilis (Kittlitz) 
ForBUSH SPARROW 
Synonyms 
Melospiza lincolm, part; Melospiza lincolm striata. 
Status—Fairly common winter visitant locally south through the humid 
belt to Monterey County; has occurred east to Battle Creek and Saint Helena 
(McGregor, Condor, u, 1900, p. 35), and casually south to Fresno (Tyler, Con- 
dor, xm, 1911, p. 76; J. Grinnell, Condor, xi, 1911, p. 111), Victorville (J. 
Mailliard and J. Grinnell, Condor, vu, 1905, p. 77), Long Beach (Linton, Condor, 
x, 1908, p. 182), and Witch Creek, Jacumba, and Tiajuana River, San Diego

386 (585a) Passerella iliaca unalaschcensis (Gmelin) 
SHUMAGIN Fox SPARROW 
Synonym—Passerella tliaca townsendi, part. 
Status—Winter visitant; recorded from widely separated points; verified 
records: San Clemente Island, November 30 (Linton, Condor, x1, 1909, p. 194) ; 
Helena, Trinity County (L. Kellogg, Condor, xi, 1911, p. 120) ; Pasadena (J. 
Grinnell, Pace. Coast Avif. no. 3, 1902, p. 57). Also specimens examined by me 
from: Mount Wilson, Los Angeles County, three; Berkeley, one; head of Piru 
Creek, Ventura County, one; Escondido, San Diego County, one. In this and 
the succeeding subspecies of the Fox Sparrow, where localities of capture are 
enumerated, I have made use of the series in Mus. Vert. Zool., and in the Mail- 
liard, Grinnell and Swarth collections. In all cases the labels have been marked 
with my determination, so that this may be verified or emended in the future by 
anyone else working over the material. It is needless to say that in a varying 
proportion of specimens uncertainty is experienced in assigning names. This is 
to be expected in the nature of the problem, as many intermediates undoubtedly 
occur between forms adjacent to one another in the breeding season.
