198 
although he only obtained specimens in April (Auk, v. p. 167). That this is the case has been 
proved by Mr. Mearns, who found this Thrush to be an abundant summer species in the Arizona 
Mountains, nesting late in May and in June (Auk, vii. p. 263). Тһе Henshaw Collection contains 
a series of specimens from Mount Graham procured in July and September. Mr. Henshaw records 
the present species as a plentiful summer resident in New Mexico, and found young out of the nest 
on the 18th of July (Auk, ii. p. 330). 
Mr. Townsend states that it was noticed by him in Northern California up to 4000 feet in 
summer, but was not found to be nesting (Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. x. p. 297). Mr. Jeffries records it 
from Santa Barbara on the 2nd of April (Auk, vi. p. 223). Dr. A. K. Fisher, in his account of 
the Birds of the Death Valley Expedition, writes as follows (N. Amer. Fauna, no. 7, p. 146):— 
“А race of the Dwarf Thrush, named Turdus sequoiensis by Mr. Belding, but which the “Committee 
of Nomenclature? of the American Ornithologists’ Union decided not to be different from Turdus 
auduboni of the Rocky Mountain region, is a summer resident in the Sierra Nevada, and probably 
in some of the desert ranges, though this is not certain, as specimens were not taken in the latter 
in summer. This applies to the records of individuals seen at Willow Creek in the Paramint 
Mountains, during the latter part of May, and on the east side of Wancoba Peak in the Inyo 
Mountains in June. In the Sierra Nevada Mr. Dutcher found the species common in the Dig 
Cottonwood Meadows, and Mr. Nelson reported it as abundant at the head of Owens River and on 
the San Joaquim River. Mr. Stephens heard a Thrush above the Queen Mine in the White 
Mountains, Nevada, July 11-16; saw the species at Bishop's Creek, August 4-10, and about the 
Lakes on Independence Creek, June 18-23. Mr. Belding found it in the Yosemite Valley in 
June.” Dr. С. Hart Merriam, in his paper on the birds of the San Francisco Mountain Region, 
states that Audubon's Thrush * breeds abundantly throughout the Spruce and Douglas Fur zones. 
Spotted young were shot on the 1st of August" (N. Amer. Faun. no. 3, p. 101). 
In his report on the Ornithology of the 40th Parallel, Mr. Ridgway observes (p. 394):— 
“ This Thrush was first met with in the Wahsatch Range, where it inhabited chiefly the deep ravines 
of the pine-region. The first specimen seen was shot on the 26th of May, in City Creek Cañon, near 
Salt Lake City; but this was probably a mere straggler from the higher portions of the mountains.” 
In Western Texas, according to Mr. Lloyd, it is known as a spring migrant, being tolerably 
common in Tom Green Co., but rare in winter in Concho Co. (Auk, iv. p. 298). At San Antonio 
Mr. Attwater records it as a migrant, but he adds :—* А few probably winter here, as I have taken 
them early in February, March, and April " (Auk, ix. p. 344). The range of the species in Central 
America is well illustrated by the series in the Salvin-Godman Collection from the following 
localities :—Rio Salado and Topo Chico, Nuevo Leon, March 3 to April 17 (F. В. Armstrong); Sierra 
Madre above Ciudad Vittoria, Tamaulipas, April (W. В. Richardson) ; Yecera, Sonora, April 4 
(W. Lloyd) ; Tutuaca, Sonora, March 4 (W. Lloyd); Pinos Altos, Chihuahua, December (Buchan- 
Hepburn); Rio de Jesus Maria, Chihuahua, Dec. 4 (ЈУ. Lloyd); near the city of Mexico (H. 8. Le 
Strange; White); Tetelco, Jan., Coajimalpa (Tacubaya), Nov., March, Chimalpa, April 2, Coapa, 
April 4 (Ferrari-Perez); Tenango del Valle, Oct. 14 (W. B. Richardson); Real del Monte (Hidalgo), 
Oct. 17-21 (W. B. Richardson); La Parada (Boucard); Oaxaca (Fenochio) ; 'Totontepec, Oaxaca, 
Feb. (М. Trujillo); Popocatapetl, 8000-12,600 feet (F. D. Godman); Coatepec (Vera Cruz), Nov. 
(M. Trujillo); Zapotlan, Jalisco, March 29 (W. Lloyd); Sierra de Bolaños, Jalisco, Feb. 26 to 
March 3 (W. B. Richardson); Sierra Nevada de Colima, Dec. (W. B. Richardson); Rio Frio, 
Iztaccihuatl, Sept. (W. B. Richardson) ; Volcan de Tacana, Chiapas, March 2-8 (W. В. Richardson) ; 
San Cristobal, Chiapas, April (W. B. Richardson); Volcan de Fuego, Guatemala, Dec. (0. 8.) 
The Chiapas specimens would appear to be breeding birds, from the appearance of their plumage. – 
Messrs. Salvin and Godman (Biol. Centr.-Amer., Aves, i. р. 15) observe that this Thrush 18
