66 PACIFIC COAST AVIFAUNA No. 10 



291. Lanivireo solitarius plumbeus (Coues). 



Plumbeous VirEo. 



Synonyms — J'ireo plumbeus; J'ireosylvia plumhea; I'ireo solitaniis plum- 

 beus. 



vStatus — Common summer visitant of the Transition zone. Reported from 

 San Francisco Mountain, the Mogollon, Santa Catalina, Santa Rita, Huachuca, 

 and Hualpai mountains, Forts Whipple and Apache, and is undoubtedly to be 

 found in all the higher mountain ranges of the state. 



292. Vireo huttoni Stephens! Brewster. 



Stephens Vireo. 



Synonym — Vireo huttoni. 



Status — Found in the mountain ranges of southeastern Arizona, in the h've 

 oak belt and along the canon streams, ranging upward to the lower edge of 

 Transition. Probably resident, but nowhere very abundant. Reported from the 

 Chiricahua, Santa Catalina, Santa Rita, and Huachuca mountains, and also, the 

 westernmost record, from the Quijotoa Range (Scott, 1888, p. 32). 



293. Vireo belli arizonae Ridgway. 



Arizona Vireo. 



Synonyms — Vireo bellii; Vireo pusillns; Vireo belli pusiUns. 



Status — Common summer visitant in southern and western Arizona. Found 

 along the Colorado River at least as far north as Fort Mohave (Cooper, 1861, 

 p. 122) and the Big Sandy (Stephens, 1903, p. 104). In eastern Arizona it breeds 

 abundantly in the valleys of the Santa Cruz and San 'Pedro, as in all probability 

 it- does along the Gila River also. The northernmost points to which it has been 

 traced in central Arizona are the Gila River, Graham County, in September (Hen- 

 shaw, 1875b, p. 225), and a point fifty miles south of Fort Whipple, breeding 

 (Coues, 1866a, p. 76). 



294. Vireo vicinior Coues. 



Gray Vireo. 



Status — A summer visitant, reported thus far from a few scattered localities 

 in the northern and eastern parts of the state. Coues (1866a, p. 75) secured a 

 single specimen, the type of the species, at Fort Whipple, Henshaw (1875b, p. 

 227) took migrating birds at Camp Bowie in August, and at Camp Lowell in Sep- 

 tember, and Stephens (1878, p. 93) found it on the Gila River, presumably about 

 at the Arizona-New Mexico boundary, and also near Tucson in April (Brewster, 

 1882, p. 142). x\pparently the only positive published breeding record for Ari- 

 zona is that of Scott (1885a, p. 321), who reported the species as a common sum- 

 mer visitant on the eastern slope of the Santa Catalina Mountains, ranging from 

 2800 to ^000 feet. Merriam (1890, p. .\o) found it at the Grand Canon of the 

 Colorado in September, and Fisher (1903, p. 35") at Keam Canon in July and 

 August, and it may be presumed to breed at both places.
