small young of their remaining parent. What was my surprise two days later 
to find that the single male and the other female had combined forces and were 
feeding the youngsters of the second nest. I verified this by shooting the male, 
and his new mate continued to feed her adopted children. We were pretty well 
acquainted with the shrike population of that section of Clemente, and no matter 
which birds we shot, there always seemed to be others that came in to take their 
places and join forees with the widows and widowers.

Rather common resident of Santa Cruz, and present on Catalina. In the 
latter locality F. Stephens (7) took a female during August, 1886. A subspecies, 
V. mailliardorum was deseribed from Santa Cruz Island by J. Grinnell (5). 
Said to be shghtly smaller than huttoni, especially the bill, darker, more leaden 
olive above and a little more buffy yellow below posteriorly. The differences, 
however, were deemed by the A. O. U. Committee as too slight for recognition. 
A. van Rossem and I found the species fairly common on Santa Cruz in April, 
1911, and we took several specimens. C. B. Linton (8) reported it as present in 
some numbers during November and December, 1907.

C. B. Linton (1) shot a bird of this species on Santa Cruz Island, Novem- 
ber 29, 1907, which was afterwards lost. Both he and G. Willett, who was with 
him at the time, inform me, however, that there was not the slightest doubt but 
that the specimen was referable to this form.
