42 THE CONDOR Vol. X 



So atli Yallo Bally (identification of specimen by Biological Survey). This was 

 probably the form met in the Siskiyou Mountains. 



Cyanocitta stelieri carbonacea. Coast Jay. The jay so common in the humid 

 coast belt everywhere we went was probably this form . 



Aphelocoma calif ornica. California Jay. Common in Transition Zone of 

 northern California. At Beswick the ranges of this bird and that of Cyanocitta s. 

 froutalis overlapped, both species being equally common. 



Cractes obscurus griseus. Gray Jay. This species was common in the Cana- 

 dian Zone about Spanish Springs Camp. (Identification of specimen by Biological 

 Survey). 



Cractes obscurus obscurus. Oregon Jay. Quite common in heavy red-wood 

 timber at Orick. 



Corvus corax sinuatus. American Raven. This bird was more or less com- 

 mon at Crescent City, Orick, Eureka, Alton Junction and Rio Dell. 



Corvus brachyrhynchos hesperis. California Crow. Con^mon at Klamath Hot 

 Springs (Beswick). 



Nucifraga columbiana. Clarke Nutcracker. These birds were tolerably com-' 

 mon on the very summit of South Yallo Bally. They were the first bird to greet 

 us as we gained the mountain top. Redwing Blackbirds were met at Marshalls. 

 Picard, Lower and Klamath I^ake and at L,ierley's Ranch, but no specimens were 

 taken, and the subspecies is in doubt. 



Sturnella magna neglecta. Western Meadow-lark. This bird was common 

 almost everywhere in suitable localities. A few pairs were met on a rocky Tran- 

 sition Zone mesa near Beswick. The pure, sweet, celestial quality of its song, 

 which has charmed so many bird-lovers, was heard first at Marshalls. I had no 

 idea the birds were about until a song of unusual sweetness reached me as I was 

 setting traps in a hot breezeless gully. On climbing to the top of its bank I found 

 myself on a field where was the author of the song. 



Euphagus cyanocephaius. Brewer Blackbird. Common at Beswick and 

 Butte Valley. 



Carpodacus cassini. Cassin Purple Finch. This species was abundant on 

 South Yallo Bally. Manj^ young birds of the year were encountered there. (Iden- 

 tified by Biological Survey). 



Astragalinus tristis salicamans. Willow Goldfinch. Smith River (Del Norte 

 County). 



Passer domesticus. English Sparrow. San Francisco, Crescent City. 



Chondestes grammacus strigatus. Western I^ark Sparrow. Crescent City. 

 One seen. 



Zonotrichia leucophrys gambeli. Intermediate Sparrow. Specimen taken at 

 Alton Junction. (Identification by Biological Survey). 



Zonotrichia coronata. Golden-crowned Sparrow. A flock of these birds was 

 met on a high ridge (6000 feet) southeast of Beswick on September 18. 



Spizella socialis arizonae. Western Chipping Sparrow. Abundant on South 

 Yallo Bally, Beswick, Orick, Trinidad. At the two former places many young of 

 the year were seen and the adults were moulting. 



Junco oregonus thurberi. Sierra Junco. These birds fairly swarmed on South 

 Yallo Bally about its summit, the j^oung of the year were abundant. (Identification 

 by Biological Survey). 



Junco oregonus shufeldti. Shufeldt Junco. Common on high ridges about 

 Beswick. (Identification by Biological Survey).
