84 PACIFIC COAST AVIFAUNA No. 12 
on Santa Cruz, November 24, 1907. I may be mistaken, but I believe that me- 
garhyncha is the most numerous one of the four fox sparrows that are found on 
the islands, with insularis a close second.

In April I have found fox sparrows in numbers on Catalina, and one that I 
secured on the 8th is indistinguishable from breeding birds of the San Bernar- 
dino Mountains. C. P. Streator shot a pair in this locality April 19 and 21, 
1892, which Oberholser (1) pronounces of this subspecies. C. B. Linton (3) se- 
cured one in the underbrush near the top of Santa Cruz Island, December 14, 
1907.

C. B. Linton (4) obtained several of these birds on San Clemente Island in 
the winter of 1907-8, the first on October 5, and the last April 1. C. P. Streator 
(2) shot one on Catalina in April, 1892, A. van Rossem (VS) a female Febru- 
ary 15, 1910, and J. Grinnell (1) three in December, 1897. C. B. Linton and G. 
Willett (5) also took several in the pines of Santa Cruz Island during November 
and December, 1907.

Pipilo maculatus oregonus (1) Linton, Condor, x1, 1909, p. 194. (2) Willett, Pac. Coast 
Avif., 7, 1912, p. 87. (3) Swarth, Condor, xv, 1913, p. 172. (4) Grinnell, Pac. Coast

C. B. Linton (7) secured an adult female of this form on San Clemente, De- 
cember 4, 1908, the specimen now being in the University of California Museum 
of Vertebrate Zoology. The fact of this bird having been taken so far from its 
usual range is surprising, but although there is of course the possibility that it 
may be an individual variant of clementac, it is in appearance unquestionably 
nearer to oregonus than to the local bird (3).
