and eggs. (Bull. N. 0. C, Vol. 3, 42.) [This is the 

 only reliable record of its breeding in California.] 



Willamette Valley. 0. B. Johnson. — Sparingly com- 

 mon during summer. 



Beaverton. A. W. Anthony. — One specimen as late 

 as May 22, 1884, but mostly gone by May 1. 



Cape Flattery Light. Alexander Sampson, keeper. 

 April 26, 1884, a few sparrows with black on the sides 

 of the head and a yellow stripe on top. May 6, quite 

 a flight of the same birds; ten killed by striking the 

 light. Wind, southeast, 38 miles an hour. 



Suckley, 1860. Not rare in the vicinity of Fort Dalles 

 or Fort Steilacoom; in both places quite abundant in 

 summer. 



Cooper, 1860. I saw them but once near Puget 

 Sound, on the 10th of May. 



British Columbia. John Fannin. — Rare summer 

 resident. Burrard Inlet, September 13, arrived; Sep- 

 tember 29, here in numbers. I see it here only in fall. 



Henshaw, 1879. Occurs along the eastern slope dur- 

 ing the fall migration. Its numbers are limited to the 

 comparatively few that find their way into the bands of 

 white-crowned and Ridgway's sparrows [intermedia]. 



West Humboldt Mountains. Ridgway. — October 7, 

 one specimen; the only one seen. 



171. Zonotrichia albicollis (Gmel.) White-throated 

 Sparrow. 



British Columbia. John Fannin. — Rare summer 

 resident. 



Henshaw, 1879. About forty miles from the Dalles, 

 one of two seen, shot. I presume that it is by no 

 means scarce.
