the Santa Clara Valley, but several were observed in Mountain Meadows 

 May 17. 



In the north end of Panamint Valley, Mr. Nelson saw several the last 

 of May, and others on the high tableland between Saline and Panamint 

 valleys, in May and June. Dr. Merriam found it common in the sage 

 brush north of Telescope Peak, April 15. Horned larks were found 

 during the breeding season in the sage plains on the Inyo and White 

 mountains, and in Saline and Deep Spring valleys. Below Maturango 

 Spring, in Ooso Valley, it was quite common May 11, and others 

 were seen along the valley as far north as Darwin. In Owens Valley, 

 the subspecies was found as a summer resident from the lower to the 

 upper end. Mr. Palmer found it very abundant in Antelope Valley, 

 and a few near G-orman Station the last of June.
