nest was repaired. I can see no difference in either the birds, nests, 
or eggs, from our eastern specimens of the same species. 
‘¢ Common at Cafion City, April 27th.”—C. E. A. 
34. Hirundo horreorum. 
These were not common. All that I saw were nesting in deserted 
cabins and ‘dug outs.’ I found young birds able to fly, and eggs 
which had been deposited but a few hours in the same hut; one nest 
in my possession is constructed principally of antelope hair. 
‘¢ Also common at Cafion City, April 27th.”—C. E. A.

‘¢ Rare in winter in the foot-hills, probably common in the moun-

40. Myiadestes townsendi. (Cab.) 
‘‘Common all winter. Shy and retired in its habits, inhabiting

winter mostly on cedar berries, but on bright warm days it is often 
found on the ground beneath some bush, searching for insects. It is

Baltimore Oriole, and Western Lark. Strange to say it sings only
