The capture of an individual of this subspecies in midsummer 

 (July 3, 1908) in the San Jacinto Mountains, Riverside County, Cali- 

 fornia, remains an anomalous occurrence, difficult to understand 

 (Grinnell and Swarth, 1913, p. 281). 



There are four specimens of schistacea available from Arizona. 

 The winter range of schistac&a is generally given as including Arizona 

 and New Mexico (cf. A. 0. U. Check-List, 1910, p. 277; Ridgway, 

 1901, p. 396), but the published records of occurrence in the former 

 state hardly suffice as a basis for the statement. I know of but four 

 such locality records : forty miles south of Camp Apache, September 1, 

 1873, one specimen (Henshaw, 1875, p. 293) ; San Francisco Moun- 

 tain, September 29, 1889, one specimen (Merriam, 1890, p. 97) ; 

 Huachuca Mountains, November 20, 1894, one specimen (Fisher, 1904, 

 p. 81) ; Big Sandy Creek, near Signal, Mohave County, February 6 

 and 9, 1880, three specimens (Stephens, 1914, p. 259). Brewster's 

 (1882, p. 197) record from Tucson was a mistake, as pointed out by 

 Stephens {loc. cit.). 



The additional specimens now at hand are two from the Sierra 

 Ancha, Gila County, November 7 and 12, 1916 (nos. 1803, 1804, coll. 

 G. Willett), one collected by A. Van Rossem in Bonita Caiion, Chiri- 

 cahua Mountains, January 24, 1915 (no. 3179, coll. J. E. Law), and 

 one taken by Dr. E. A. Mearns at Payson, Yavapai [= Gila?] County, 

 February 18, 1888 (no. 52996, Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist.). It may be 

 only due to the failure to collect in the proper localities that the sub- 

 species has not been found to be of regular and abundant winter 

 occurrence in Arizona, but on the basis of the above mentioned speci- 

 mens (all that are known to me as occurring in that state), schistacea 

 can hardly be regarded as of much more than casual occurrence. 



The four Arizona specimens at hand are in appearance essentially 

 like the breeding bird of northern Nevada, and are probably migrants 

 from that general region.
