 above 1,500 feet altitude. 



Santa Catalina Island. F. Stephens. — August, 1886, 

 common. 



Poway. F. E. Blaisdell. — Not very common; con- 

 stant resident.

Santa Ana Plains, Los Angeles County. F. E. Blais- 

 dell. — December 10-14, common. 



Henshaw, 1876. Along our route from Los Angeles 

 to Santa Barbara it was seen on a few occasions only. 



Cooper, 1870. Salinas Valley near Monterey. 



L. B. — It formerly nested in Marysville and in Marys- 

 ville Buttes, and perhaps still does so. I noticed one at 

 Gridley, July 22, 1885. In the foothills of San Joaquin 

 and Calaveras counties it is a rare resident. December 

 17, 1879, I saw four in Captain Meaders' garden at Cop- 

 peropolis, feeding on berries of Californian holly 

 (Heteromeles arbutifolia). I have seen a few at different 

 times here and about twenty miles northward when 

 shooting in winter; in fact, rarely hunt here two or three 

 days without seeing one or more in winter or summer. 



Chico. William Proud. — February 10, 1884, one seen. 

 It remained several days. 



253. Galeoscoptes carolinensis (Linn.) Catbird. 

 Farallon Islands, near San Francisco. Charles H. 



Townsend (Auk, ii, 215). — September 14, 1884, one 

 specimen. 



Fort Walla Walla, Washington Territory. J. W.Wil- 

 liams. — June 2, 1885, four birds; again seen June 10, 

 but not afterward; not seen here before.
