In its western range, this species appears to be restricted by the Rocky 

 Mountains, to the west of which it is not known to occur. In the vicinity 

 of Denver, it appears to be not very uncommon, as it was noted here by 

 both Dr. Rothrock and myself. It was also observed by Mr. Allen near 

 Colorado City. I have never seen it in Arizona or New Mexico, and do not 

 think it occurs. So far as I noticed them, their habits here are entirely cor- 

 respondent with those at the East.

This thrush was first described by Dr. Coues in June, 1873, from 

 specimens collected near Camp Lowell, Southern Arizona, by Capt. Charles 

 Bendire. During a few days' reconnaissance the past season in the same 

 locality, I procured three individuals of this species, which exhibit, when 

 compared with the type specimens in the Smithsonian Institution, certain
