ZONOTRICHIA LEUCOPHRYS GAMBELI (Nuttall). 



A paix" of adults from Santa Oatalina Island. This is the race for- 

 merly known as intermedia} 



SPIZELLA SOCIALIS ARIZONyE Coues. 



Three specimens. Two of these are adults from Santa Oatalina 

 Island, and are in color and in most of their measurements apparently 

 like the mainland form. The wings are, however, somewhat shorter, 

 but the difference seems too slight to warrant the separation of the 

 island bird. The third specimen, which is in the spotted j)lumage of 

 the young, is from Santa Rosa, and appears to be the first record of the 

 species for this island. 



MELOSPIZA MELODIA CLEMENT^E (Townsend). 



Eighteen specimens, including both adults and young, from the 

 islands of San Miguel and Santa Rosa. The adults are in worn plum- 

 age, but agree with examples from San Clemente Island, the type 

 locality of this race. The young exhibit much more individual varia- 

 tion than the adults, but on the whole present quite as good characters 

 for subspeciflc distinction. This juvenal stage, as is usual among the 

 song sparrows, is quite different in appearance from the adult, and may 

 be described as follows : 



Above brownish gray, somewhat rufescent on the rump, the feathers 

 with deep brown or blackish centers, these broadest on back, where 

 they are margined conspicuously with pale grayish; head with no 

 evident median stripe; wings aad tail about as in the adult; sides of 

 head and neck dull buffy white, considerably mixed with brown; 

 lower parts dull buffy white; jugulum, sides of throat and body, with 

 short streaks of brownish gray, less evident on the last. 



The species appears not to have been previously recorded from San 

 Miguel Island. 



MELOSPIZA LINCOLNII (Audubon). 



A single adult female from Santa Oatalina Island. The upper sur- 

 face is rather more than usually tinged with ochraceous, as are also 

 the x^osterior lower parts, thus almost obliterating the definition of the 

 pectoral band. 



PASSERELLA ILIACA INSULARIS Ridgway. 



One adult from Santa Oatalina Island. 



PASSERELLA ILIACA MEGARHYNCHA (Baird). 



Three typical examples from Santa Oatalina Island.
