Wyoming Biuds. 55 



477. Cyanocitta cristata cristata: Blue Jay. 



Clearwaters reports this species as well as a few other 

 eastern forms from the vicinity of La Grange, near the 

 Nebraska line. Buck reports it from his region, but he 

 probably confused it with one of the following species. 



478b. Cyanocitta stelleri diademata: Long-crested Jay. 



Along the southern boundary of the state we have a jay, 

 some specimens of which are referable to this form. Far- 

 ther to the north the Bla'ck-headed Jay is the common spe- 

 cies and some may occur here with diademata. Reported 

 by Lockwood and Walker. There are specimens of both 

 species in the Wyoming collection. 



478c. Cyanocitta stelleri annectens: Black-headed Jay. 



Fairly common resident. In the southern portion of the 

 state it intergrades with the preceding species. 



480. Aphelocoma Woodhousei: Woodhouse's Jay. 



Occurs only along the southern portion of the state. 

 Walker has found it at Green River and Lockwood in the 

 vicinity of Laramie. These are the only recent records. 



484. Perisoreus canadensis canadensis: Canada Jay. 



Knight reported only the Rocky Mountain Jay, but Metz 

 and Peabody have both found this species. 



484a. Penisoreus canadensis capitalis: Rocky Mountain Jay. 

 Abundant resident almost throughout the entire state. 



486. Corvus corax sinuatus: Raven. 



Fairly common through the central and northern portions 

 of the state. It should occur in southern Wyoming, but 

 the only records for it are from Saratoga Valley and Riv- 

 erton. 



488. Corvus brachyrhynchos brachyrhynchos: Crow. 



Common summer resident throughout almost the entire 

 state. Buck reports both it and the Raven from his region, 

 which is the only case that we have both recorded from 

 the same vicinity. 



488b. Corvus brachyrhynchos hesperis: Western Crow. 



Blackwelder reports it from the Tetons and Clearwaters 

 records it. As to whether this or the preceding form is of 

 more common occurrence in this state, we cannot say.
