i68. Zonotrichia leucophrys intermedia Ridgw. Inter- 

 mediate Sparrow. 



At San Diego it is an abundant winter visitant; last 

 seen here April 23, 1884; was common to the 15th. — 

 L. B. 



Poway. F. E. Blaisdell. — Common winter visitant; 

 not seen since the last of April. 



Volcan Mountains. W. 0. Emerson. — January 24, 

 1884, to February 14, in large flocks, 'when the snow 

 drove them down to the lower canons and valleys. 

 Afterward a few were seen when the sun shone and it 

 was warm. It was observed at Poway as late as|April 27. 



Mt. Whitney. Henshaw, 1876. — Middle of Septem- 

 ber large flocks. 



L. B. — This form has been very abundant in winter 

 wherever I have been in California, if below the snow- 

 line. It probably breeds entirely north of California. 

 Probably some of the notes on Z. I. gambeli really refer 

 to this form, which undoubtedly inhabits all of the low 

 parts of California in winter vastly outnumbering all the

 until 1873. 



Oakland and vicinity. W. E. Bryant. — Winter vis- 

 itant. 



Henshaw, 1879. Flocks frequently fall into the path

 resident, and I believe it goes farther north to breed. 



Camp Harney. Bendire. — A moderately abundant 

 summer resident. 



Ridgway. West Humboldt Mountains, September 7, 

 1867. Truckee, December 26. Head of Humboldt Val- 

 ley, September 16, 1868; abundant at Carson in willows 

 and brushwood in winter.
