Cardinalis cardinalis superbus Ridgw., Arizona cardinal, pdh-ld'lo-kwltsk-

 a specific character in their nomenclature ; even birds of reddish or 

 rufous color are often designated by them as "red birds." They 

 were very enthusiastic in their expression of admiration when shown 

 a mounted specimen of the vermilion flycatcher, and when Ong- 

 wischey caught sight of a male cardinal that some friend had sent to 

 me from Agua Fria he begged so earnestly for me to stuff it for him 

 that I did so, as it was the only time that he ever asked for anything 

 that he saw in my house, or permitted the other Mokis to do so.
