January and April 9-12, and at Resting Springs the first naif of Feb- 

 ruary and April 27. At the latter place the flocks became very tame 

 and came into camp to pick up the crumbs. 



It was common about the ranch and among the mesqnite at Ash 

 Meadows, Nev., during the greater part of March, and Mr. Nelson 

 found it abundant at Pahrnmp and Vegas ranches and among the juni- 

 pers in the Charleston Mountains during the same month. Dr. Merriam 

 found it common at Leach Point Spring, Calif., April 25 ; at Mountain 

 Spring in the Charleston Mountains, Nev., April 30; in the Valley of 

 the Virgin near Bunkerville, May 8, aud a few tardy migrants in 

 Pahranagat Valley May 22-28. In the Santa Clara Valley, Utah, the 

 subspecies was still tolerably common May 11-15. In the Panamint 

 Mountains it was common in Johnson, Surprise, aud Emigrant canons 

 in April, and Mr. Nelson found a few late migrants on Willow Creek 

 the last of May. The sparrow was abundant among the mesquite at 

 Hot Springs, Panamint Valley, April 20-25; a few were seen at Searl's 

 garden, near the south end of the Argus Kange, about the same time, 

 and a few in Shepherd Canon as late as May 1. In the latter place Mr. 

 Nelson reported it very common in January. Mr. Stephens found it 

 rather common in the lower end of Oasis Valley, Nev., March 15-19, and 

 at Grapevine Spring, Calif., April 1-4. 



A few were observed by Mr. Nelson about the Canada de las Uvas
