130 NORTH AMERICAN FAUNA. [No. 16. 
114. Icteria virens longicauda. Long-tailed Chat. 
Fairly common ut Sisson, and common in the lower country farther 
north—at Gazelle and on toward Yreka. Common along Shasta River 
in Shasta Valley (W. K. Fisher). 
115. Wilsonia pusilla pileolata. Pileolated Warbler. 
Common in Mud Creek Canyon the latter part of July and early 
August; seen at Sisson July 13 by W. H. Osgood, and at Wagon Camp 
August 3 by Miss Merriam; several seen at Syuaw Creek in flocks of 
chickadees and warblers during August and September; seen in wild 
cherry bushes at Wagon Camp September 25. Iu the summer of 1883 
C. H. Townsend found it rather common on Shasta. 
116, Anthus pensilvanicus. Pipit; Titlark. 
In a barren rocky basin above timberline, near the head of Panther 
Creek, on July 17 I heard titlarks and saw Arctic bluebirds. At the 
same place two mouths later (September 18) titlarks were common. 
In Shasta Valley September 17 to 20 W. H. Osgood saw flocks along 
the road. 
117. Cinclus mexicanus. Dipper; Water Ouzel. 
Common on the upper part of Squaw Creek as far as the timber 
extends, and sometimes seen above timberline. Seen also on Panther 
Creek, near its head, and on Mud aud Ash creeks. On Squaw Creek 
we often watched the ouzels feeding among the cascades and clear 
cold pools between the upper heather meadow and the main fall. One 
afternoon just before dark (6 o'clock) I was surprised to see an ouzel 
Hy up into the dead top of a tree, light on a branch, and climb up 
several feet on the trunk with his short tail hanging straight down, 
after the manner of a woodpecker. 
118. Salpinctes obsoletus. Rock Wren. 
Rather rare on Shasta and contined apparently to the bare rocky 
slopes near and above timberline. August 2, at an altitude of 8,600 
feet. on one of the ridges above the head of Squaw Creek, I found a 
pair—the first noted on the mountain. August 11, on the west rim of 
Mud Creek Canyon, I first heard them at 9,000 feet, and Vernon Bailey 
followed them up and shot one at 9,800 feet. A week later he saw one 
at an altitude of 10,400 feet. August 27, Miss Merriam saw one in 
‘The Gate,’ between the heads of Panther Creck and Squaw Creek. In 
1883 CG. H. Townsend found them common above timberline on Shasta, 
and observed them also on Sheep Boek. In July, 1899, Walter Ix. 
Fisher found them amoug lava ledges in Shasta Valley. 
119. Catherpes mexicanus punctulatus. Canyon Wren. 
Not observed by us, but recorded by Townsend, who in 1883 saw 
oue—doubtiless a straggler—above timberliue on Shasta, and others at 
Sheep Rock, at the northeast base of the mountain, where he heard 
the bird’s wonderful song and was deeply impressed by it.
