NORTH AMERICAN FAUNA. 



[No. 7. 



Old Fort Tejon July 6, which had probably descended from the moun- 

 tains where they were common among the pines July 9. Mr. Nelson 

 reported this species as abundant at the head of Owens Kiver, where 

 he found a nest containing four eggs nearly ready to hatch, July 25. 

 On the western slope it was also common. On the upper Merced he 

 found two nests on August 3, one containing a young bird and three 

 eggs nearly ready to hatch, and the other three fresh eggs. The first 

 mentioned nest was nicely hidden under a projecting spruce root on 

 the side of a small gully, and the latter was placed in a clump of aspens 

 at the base of a small sapling, was strongly made, and was lined with 

 the long hairs of the porcupine. - 



Juncos were very common in the Sequoia National Park during the 

 first week of August. One nest with three eggs was found, and young 

 as large as their parents were seen. They were common at Horse Cor- 

 ral Meadows August 9-13, Big Cottonwood Meadows and Sound Valley 

 the last of August, and at Whitney Meadows and Mineral King early 

 in September. Mr. Dutch er found them abundant at Big Cottonwood 

 Meadows where he discovered several nests, and Mr. Bailey observed 

 them on the Kaweah Biver from the lowest conifers to above timber- 

 line. A nest with young was found among the giant redwoods July 29. 



Mr. Nelson reported the species as common on high ground along 

 the route from San Simeon to Carpentaria in November and December; 

 it was also common on the route from La Panza to San Luis Obispo 

 October 28 to November 3 ; and a few were seen at Santa Paula the last 

 of December.
