84 Wyoming Birds. 



icine Bow Mountains, which he thought was this form, but 

 identification was not satisfactory. The A. O. U. list, third 

 edition, says "west to eastern Wyoming," but upon what 

 authority we cannot say. 



375. Bubo virginianus: Great Horned Owl. 



Mr. Lockwood reports having taken specimens in Albany 

 County which show all gradations between this and the 

 succeeding species (375a). Reported also by Buck and 

 Walker. Because of the possibility that they confused it 

 with the western species, it is placed in the hypothetical list. 



420. Chordeiles virginianus virginianus: Nighthawk. 



This bird was reported by Richard, but may have been con- 

 fused with 420a. S«e local list by Richard. 



465. Empidonax virescens: Green-crested Flycatcher. 



"Accidental, if it is entitled to a place in the Wyoming 

 fauna. The only record is that of Drexel, whp reported 

 it from Fort Bridger in 1858." (Knight.) 



466a. Epidonax trailli alnorum: Alder's Flycatcher. 



Our only record of this species is from Blackwelder's Teton 

 list. It is no doubt authentic, as is also his record for 563a. 



474a. Octocoris alpestris leucolaema: Pallid Horned Lark. 



"There are numerous records referring to this variety as 

 occurring in Wyoming. I have endeavored to confirm the 

 evidence offered, but have been wholly unable to locate a 

 single skin or specimen that has been taken. On this ac- 

 count, it has been placed in this list and further investi- 

 gation as to its western range is very desirable." (Knight.) 



474b. Octocoris alpestris practicola: Prairie Pallid Horned Lark. 

 Percivai merely reports this form. It is our only record 

 of it other than Knight's record for leucolaema of Coues, 

 which he calls the Pallid Horned Lark. 



478. Cyanocitta stelleri: Steller's Jay. 



"Rare or accidental. The only possible record of this bird 

 being taken in Wyoming comes from the National Mtiseum. 

 Their No. 64443 reads, 'Taken at Shoshone Lake by Dr. 

 C. Hart Merriam'." (Knight.)
