242. Seimrus noveboracensis notabilis (Grinn.) Grin- 

 nell's Water-thrush. 



A. M. IngersoU. — Sept 25, 1885, I took a female at 

 Santa Cruz and I have another female that was taken by 

 Mr. J. R. Ghalker who was with me hunting a few days 

 before I shot mine. I presented the specimen to the 

 Smithsonian Institution. 



[This is the first California record, though I found it 

 at La Paz and Todos Santos in winter.] 



A. M. IngersoU. — The water thrush sent by you for 

 identification is the western form Seiurus noveboracensis 

 notabilis, although rather smaller and yellower beneath 

 than any of our specimens, of which we have a very, 

 meagre series. The white spots at tips of outer tail- 

 feathers appear to be a mere individual variation.
