60 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 



Suckley, 1860. A winter resident of Fort Dalles and 

 Fort Steilacoom. 



Henshaw, 1879. Numerous as a resident of the 

 pineries. 



Camp Harney. Bendire. — Sparingly distributed 

 through the forests of the Blue Mountains in summer; 

 in spring and fall they frequent the shrubbery along 

 creeks in the valleys and a few winter in such localities. 



Ridgway. Met with in all wooded localities through- 

 out the year, from the Sierra Nevada eastward. 



Hoffman. Not uncommon in the timbered districts 

 over the greater portion of Nevada; none were seen in 

 the southern regions. 



66. Dryobates pubescens (Linn.) Downy Woodpecker. 

 Marysville, winter of 1877-78, a typical specimen; 



same locality, December 21, 1884, typical female; on 

 the following day another typical female and one nearly 

 so. These latter were the first and only ones of either 

 the downy or Gairdner's woodpeckers shot here in 1884, 

 and they were not selected. Mr. A. W. Anthony sent 

 me one he shot at Beaverton, Oregon, and that, too, was 

 nearly typical. The specimen of 1877-78 is No. 73,606 

 of the Smithsonian collection. — L. B. 



67. Dryobates pubescens gairdnerii (Aud.) Gairdner's 



Woodpecker. 



San Bernardino. F. Stephens. — Rare accidental visit- 

 ant to the valley. 



Henshaw, 1876. Not so arboreal as the Harris's wood- 

 pecker. We do not find it among the high mountains 

 of California, save occasionally, but with the Nuttall's it 

 resorts to the low districts and frequents to a great ex- 

 tent the deciduous timber, especially the oaks. Santa 

 Barbara, July 6, juvenile.
