the other side of the camp. A long and tiresome search among the 

 thick foliage was rewarded by a second specimen — the female." 

 The notes uttered by these birds were evidently notes of alarm, for 

 its real song is not unlike that of the Song Sparrow. A nest with 

 six eggs was taken April 19th. 



89. Troglodytes aedon parkmanii (Aud .). (Parkman's 

 Wreti). Many were seen in the brush heaps near Mexican farms. 



90. Regulus calendula (Linn.). [Ruby-crowned King- 

 let). Only two of these birds were noticed during my stay. One 

 was taken March 26th sixteen miles north of the city ; the other 

 was seen in the city March 25th. 



91. Polioptila c.erulea (Linn.). Blue-gray Gnatcher). 

 A number of these birds were taken March 21st in mesquite bushes 

 four miles west of the city. So numerous were they that I could 

 scarcely look around without seeing the ends of the limbs borne 

 down by the weight of their tiny bodies. The birds met with on 

 this occasion seem to have been the bulk of a migratory flock, for, 

 on visiting the locality several days later not a single specimen 

 could be seen.
