 ern Lark Sparrow.

Poway. F. E. Blaisdell. — Common resident. 



Volcan Mountains. W. 0. Emerson. — Altitude 6,000 

 feet, February 24, large flocks feeding with shore larks 

 on open flats; seen oQ and on during my stay on the 

 Volcan; common all through Santa Isabel and Santa 

 Maria valleys. 



San Bernardino. F. Stephens. — Common resident of 

 the valley. 



Santa Cruz. Joseph Skirm. — Common resident.

 Tolerably common resident.

 1886. 



Sebastopol. F. H. Holmes. — Abundant summer resi- 

 dent. March 4, 1885, first; March 15, common. I 

 think it does not winter here.

 dent of the valleys and foothills, including Murphys and 

 Colfax, both about 2,500 feet altitude, and rather com- 

 mon at Red Bluff, February 3-5, 1885. Perhaps our 

 birds go south in winter and those froin Oregon take 

 their places, but the species is here at all times.

 mon during the summer.
