The Birds of Wyoming. 



448. Tyrannus vociferans Swains. 

 Cassin's Kingbird. 

 Probably a summer resident, but quite rare. Drexel took 

 one specimen west of Fort Laramie, Sept. 8th, 1857 ; Coues re- 

 ports one specimen taken at Cheyenne; Jesurun has two skins 

 in his collection that were taken May 19, 1890, and May 6, 1892 ; 

 Bond reports them uncommon at Cheyenne ; but he has secured 

 a few specimens. In the Smithsonian collection No. 80438 was 

 taken by J. S. Newberry at Laramie. I have never seen a live 

 specimen in Wyoming. 



452. Myiarchus crinitus (Linn.). 

 Crested Flycatclier. 

 Rare and probably accidental. The Wyoming record rests 

 upon a single specimen taken by Dr. Jesurun of Douglas on 

 June 14, .1896. The skin is in the doctor's collection at the 

 present writing. 



454. Myiarchus cinerascens (Lawr.). 

 Ash-tliroated Flycatcfier. 



Very rare ; but may be found as a summer resident. 

 Coues, Birds of the Northwest, p. 240, remarks : "As in the 

 case of the .preceding species, Mr. Akins again furnishes a 

 northernmost quotation, carrying the known range into Wyo- 

 ming." I have been unable to find Akins' note on the occur- 

 rence of M. crinitus in Wyoming, which this note refers to. 

 Bond has also taken a single specimen which is at the present, 

 time in the Cheyenne High School collection. 



456. Sayornis phoebe (Lath.). 

 Phpebe. 



Very rare; probably a summer resident in eastern Wyo- 

 ming, as it is only known from the very eastern side of the 

 state. Cary reports a single specimen from Newcastle. I 

 have heard this bird calling in the vicinity of Sundance and 

 Fort Laramie ; but have never taken a specimen.
