126 NORTH AMERICAN FAUNA. [No. 16. 
89. Melospiza lincolni, Lincoln Sparrow. 
Breeds along the edge of the forest at Wagon Camp, where I shot 
one at the spring July 20. Another was obtained by R. T. Fisher on 
Squaw Creek (alt. about 6,700 feet) August 17. Others were seen 
among the alders in Mud and Ash Creek canyons about the end of July 
by Walter K. Fisher. At Sisson, the first half of September, R. T. 
Fisher found the species fairly common, and shot one among the alders 
bordering Cold Creek. W.H. Osgood reported it as common in Shasta 
Valley September 17 to 20. 
90. Passerella iliaca unalaschcensis. Townsend Sparrow. 
Common during migration (September) throughout the chaparral of 
the lower slopes from Sisson up to Wagon Camp. At Wagon Camp 
one was shot by W. H. Osgood September 22. Common also late in 
September in bushes in the more open parts of the forest along tle east 
base of Scott Mountains from Sisson north to Edgewood, and in the 
bushes bordering Shasta Kiver in the southern part of Shasta Valley. 
Passerellas supposed to be this species were seen repeatedly at 
Sisson, the first half of September, by I. T. Fisher. 
91. Passerella iliaca megarhyncha. Thick-hilled Sparrow. 
Breeds near Wagon Cainp, apparently in the chaparral, where Joln 
H. Sage shot one July 20 and another July 22. At Sisson W. I. 
Osgood and Miss Merriam saw this species July 13 and 15. In the 
summer of 1883 C. H. Townsend found it a common breeder in the 
chaparral tracts of Shasta. 
92. Pipilo maculatus megalonyx. Spurred Towliee. 
Common in the undergrowth along the edges of openings in the pon- 
derosa pine forest from Sisson to Shasta Valley. One was shot at 
Upton September 15 by R. T. Fisher. C. H. Townsend found it breed- 
ing commonly on the lower slopes of Shasta in 1883, 
93. Pipilo fuseus crissalis. Calitornia Towhee. 
Several seen in the chaparral near Gazelle August 31 by Vernon 
Bailey, and near Edgewood by Walter K. Fisher. 
94, Oreospiza chlorura. Green-tailed Towhee. 
Apparently a fairly common breeder on the lower slopes of Shasta, 
where in the chaparral near Wagon Camp several were seen and one 
was killed the latter part of July and early in August, and one was 
found feeding full-grown young July 28. At Sisson Miss Merriam 
found them the middle of July. The last one noted by me was seen 
in the manzanita at an altitude of 4,900 feet, on the road from Wagon 
Camp to Sisson, August 26. 
95. Zamelodia melanocephala. Black-headed (rrosbeak. 
Seen at Sisson by W. IT. Osgood July 13. At the MeCloud River 
fish hatchery C. H. Townsend found it a common breeder in 1883,
