PASSERES—FRINGILLIDAE— PIPILO CHLORTJRUS. 



307 



was ascertained by a few, less timid than the rest, venturing- for an instant to 

 the tops of the bushes — when an instant retreat followed, and the locality 

 was soon abandoned, their notes growing fainter and fainter in the distance 

 till they finally died away. Of all the sparrows, I know of no other 

 which is so invariably shy and suspicious as this. 



It appears, in regard to the distribution of this species, that with New 

 Mexico and Arizona as the center of its abundance, where, however, it appears 

 to be very local, certain regions being seemingly shunned for no especial 

 reason, it reaches to the northward into Colorado and also Utah, where, 

 near Saint George, it was apparently not uncommon, two specimens being 

 there secured by us and numbers seen.
