Specimens from Oregon are in the Henshaw Collection, from Des Chutes River and Crooked River, 
procured in September. Dr. Merrill noticed the species at Fort Klamath in April, when it was 
migrating northward. 
А large series of Californian specimens is in the Salvin-Godman Collection in the British Museum, 
mostly from the Henshaw Collection, the exact localities being as follows :—Mount Whitney (Oct.), 
San Francisco (Sept. 4), Sauta Clara, Nicasio (Jan., Nov.), Los Alamos (Nov. 2), Oakland (Nov.- 
March), Ballina, San Diego Co. (Jan.-March), San Bernardino (Nov.-Jan.), Monterey (Oct. 6), 
Greenwood, Eldorado Co. Mr. Townsend says that the species breeds on Mount Shasta, from 
300 to 4000 feet (Proc. U S. Nat. Mus. x. p. 237). Mr. Belding says that it is probably a constant 
resident at Stockton in Central California (San J oaquin Co., lat. 38°); it is common in winter and has 
been seen as late as the 8th of June. It was abundant at Murphy's in Calaveras Co. (lat. 38° 7!) in 
winter, leaving in April. It seems to be very rare in the sierras in summer, as it was not noticed 
at Big Trees, in the pine-region, though two or three were observed. at Soda Springs, in the upper 
pine-region, in September (Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. i. p. 396). Dr. Cooper records it from Camp 
Mojave (lat. 35°), leaving about the 186 of April. At Saticoy (lat. 34° 27) it arrived on the 5th of 
November, and at Heywood (lat. 877) it arrived on the 12th of October, leaving on the Ist of May 
(Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. ii. p. 245). In the account of the Death Valley Expedition, Dr. A. K. Fisher 
writes :—“ The Dwarf Thrush was only seen during migration. Several were seen in Johnson Cañon, 
in the Panamint Range, California, where a specimen was secured on the 28th of March. In the Argus 
Range it was not uncommon in Shepherd Cañon in the last week of April, and at Maturango Spring 
one was secured on the 8th of May. Mr. Dutcher shot another at Big Cottonwood Meadows on 
September 11, which was probably a migrant, as the summer resident was Т. auduboni. Mr. Bailey 
found the Dwarf Thrush common at Monterey on the lst of October, and Mr. Nelson observed it 
abundantly in the vicinity of San Luis Obispo on the last of that month, and along the route from San 
Simeon to Carpenteria and Santa Paula in November and December " (N. Amer. Fauna, no. 7, p. 145). 
Тһе Dwarf Thrush winters in Lower California, where it was found by Xantus at Cape St. Lucas 
(Ridgway, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. iii. p. 533). From Colorado it is recorded by Mr. Sprague, a 
specimen having been shot “at Magnolia, a small mining town some eight miles west of Boulder, 
this being the first record for the State.” In Arizona the species has been obtained from near Tuczon 
in April by Mr. Brewster (Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, vii. p. 67). Mr. Scott says that it is a common winter 
resident in the Cataline region of Arizona, at an altitude of 4500 feet ; it was observed from October 
97th to March 14th. Mr. Henshaw has obtained specimens in the Santa Fé Mountains in New 
Mexico in October, but he says that it is rare there and only a few were noticed in autumn (Auk, ii. 
p. 930). In the south-western part of the State Mr. Anthony found a few in the hills till late in 
May (Auk, ix. p. 869). Mr. N. C. Brown records the species from Leon Springs in S.W. Texas in 
March (Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, vii. p. 34); and Mr. Lloyd writes (Auk, iv. p. 298):-“ Tt is a tolerably 
common fall migrant in Western Texas, noticed from September 20 to October 10—occurring at least 
to Fort Stockton, crossing the plains.” At San Antonio Mr. Attwater found it to be a tolerably 
. common migrant, and it was observed from February to April (Auk, ix. p. 344). 
The following notes on 7. aonalaschke are taken from Baird, Brewer, and Ridgways 
«History of North American Birds’ :— 
“Dr. Cooper, in his * Report on the Birds of California, describes it as shy and timid, preferring 
dark and shady thickets, feeding chiefly оп the ground, running rapidly, and searching for insects 
among the leaves. 
« Near San Diego they began to sing about the 25th of April. The song, consisting of a few 
low ringing notes, resembles that of Wilson's Thrush (7. fuscescens) and also that of T. ustulatus, but
