“One from Laguna, Lower California, February 1, 1883, is intermediate 
between guttata and nana, but apparently nearer the former. 
“ One from Casa Pintada, February 17, 1883, is quite typical nana.”

Audubon’s Thrush is represented in Mr. Frazar’s collection by six skins, all 
obtained on the Sierra de la Laguna between May 11 and June 8. One of 
these birds (No. 14,515, 9 May 27, 1887) is small enough to be referred to the 
so-called ** sequoiensis” of California, a form which does not seem to me worth 
recognition. The others agree closely in size, as well as in every other respect, 
with breeding specimens of audubont from the Rocky Mountain region. 
This Thrush, which has not been previously reported from any portion of 
Lower California, was found by Mr. Frazar only on the Sierra de la Laguna, 
where it inhabited deep, moist, shady cafions, and also, to some extent, dry 
pine woods. It was not numerous, but was seen almost daily during May, and 
up to the 9th of June when Mr. Frazar started for Triunfo. The males were 
in full song, and there can be little doubt that they and their mates were set- 
tled for the season and preparing to breed on this mountain. It is singular 
that no form of Hermit Thrush was found on San Pedro Martir by Mr. 
Anthony. 
H. a. audubont breeds rather commonly in the mountains of California and 
as far south as Orizaba in Mexico, while it has been taken in Guatemala in 
winter.

As Mr. Nelson has pointed out,! the application of Gmelin’s barbarous name 
aonalascensis (or aonalaschkae, as it is now generally written) to the Dwarf 
Hermit Thrush is ill advised. Latham’s description upon which the name is
