Wyoming Birds. 103 



COMMENTS. 



This list by Metz contains a number of new records, and 

 notes upon a few rare species which should be mentioned 

 particularly. The new records are as follows: 212, 436, 

 484, 49,8d, 604, 627a, 685a, and 727c. 



Among the rare species we note: 261, 356a, 373c, 459, 

 and 717a. 



Numbers 425, 554a, 599, and 717a seem to be extending 

 their range and becoming more abundant, i. e., coming into 

 Wyoming from the northwest.
