Troglodytes aedon aztecus. Western House Wren. 



The western house wren was not seen in many localities, though 

 when found it was not an uncommon species. A few were seen at Ash 

 Meadows, JSTev., about March 20. Specimens taken at San Bernardino, 

 Calif., in the latter part of December, 1890, were intermediate between 

 this race and Parkman's wren of the northwest coast region. In the 

 Pauamint Mountains it was iirst observed in Johnson Canon, April 12 

 in Suprise Canon a little later, and in Emigrant Canon April 14-15. A 

 few were seen in an alfalfa field at Grapevine Spring, on the western 



slopeoftheGrajievineMountains, the first weekin April, and in Shepherd 

 Canon, in the Argus Bange, the last week of the month. Mr. Stephens 

 found it rather common at SearEs garden, near the south end of the 

 same range, April 23-26 $ at Bishop Creek, in Owens Valley, August 4- 

 10, and among the brush on the side of Heche Canon, September 22- 

 24. Several were seen along the South Fork of Kern Eiver, July 8-10 

 and among the oaks above Walker Basin , July 14. Mr. Palmer found the 

 house wren abundant at Old Fort Tejon early in July, and Mr. Nelson 

 saw several in the Canada de las Uvas and along San Emigdio Creek 

 about the middle of October. In the High Sierra, Mr. Kelson saw it at 

 the head of Owens Eiver, and on the west slope down into the Yosemite 

 Valley. It was common in the Sequoia National Park during the first 

 weekin August ; at Horse Corral Meadows, August 9-13 ; near tim- 

 ber line in Bound Valley, 12 miles south of Mount Whitney, August 28; 

 Mineral King, September 9-10; and at Three Ei vers, in the western 

 foothills of the Sierra, September 14.
