SlALIA ARCTICA, Sw. 



Bocky Mountain Bluebird. 

 Have not observed it in Nebraska. In July, 1875, 1 saw it busily engaged in picking 

 up locusts near Green River Station. I also observed it picking up locusts along the 

 base of the Wasatch Mountains. Judging from these few instances, it must destroy- 

 large numbers of locusts.
