60 THE CONDOR Vol. XXIII 
Remarks.—Female grouse from island localities in southeastern Alaska are 
uniformly of the reddish coloration described. There are two specimens at hand, 
an adult male and an adult female, from Glacier Bay, the only mainland point 
represented. These apparently are to be referred to sitkensis, but the female is 
appreciably less red than any of the island birds. 
A form of dusky grouse is known to occur on the Queen Charlotte Islands, 
which lie midway between Vancouver Island and the Alexander Archipelago 
(Osgood, N. Am. Fauna, 21, 1901, p. 42), but whether fuliginosus or sitkensis | 
do not know. I have seen no specimens from those islands.

FURTHER NOTES ON BIRDS OBSERVED NEAR WILLIAMS, ARIZONA 
By ALEXANDER WETMORE 
N LATE WINTER and early spring of 1907 the writer made a collection of 
| birds at Williams in northern Arizona, and later published observations on 
this work in which were given notes on 40 species (Kansas University Sc!. 
Bull., vol. IV, no. 19, Sept., 1908, pp. 377-388). During the summer of 1918, I 
was in Williams again from July 6 to July 17, and, though engaged in writing 
certain reports, had opportunity during morning and evening of the long summer 
days to make observations on the bird hfe and to do some collecting. The lst 
of birds observed as given herewith is far from exhaustive but supplements the 
notes published previously as it enumerates many of the breeding birds to be 
found in the vicinity. Advantage has been taken of the present opportunity to 
review the collection of skins made in this region in 1907 and to make certain 
changes in subspecific identifications in accordance with present day views in 
this ever shifting subject. In certain cases, however, it has been deemed inad- 
visable to take up the matter of subspecific forms. 
The town of Williams is placed at the base of Bill Williams Mountain. A 
series of broken hills covered with yellow pine, scrub oaks, and mountain mahog- 
any le south and west of the village at the base of the mountain, while on the 
north is a level area forming part of the Coconino Plains. Zonal conditions about 
the town may be described as Transition, with Canadian zone on the mountain 
above. The boreal elements of the latter are found in north gulches at a com- 
paratively low altitude. The upper Sonoran zone spreads over the flats to the 
north and is found to the west in descending the mountain below Supai. As may 
be imagined there had been considerable change in local conditions during the 
years that had elapsed since my last work here. The surrounding country had 
been divided into small ranches, with considerable areas under cultivation and 
more of the pine timber had been cut away. Some of the more notable changes 
brought about in the bird life are noted in the list that follows. 
A number of birds seen during late winter and early spring in 1907 were not 
found in summer in 1918. These are enumerated here to complete the list given 
below. Following are the additional species: 
Buteo b. calurus, Sphyrapicus v. nuchalis, Sphyrapicus thyroideus, Asyn-- 
desmus lewisi, Otocoris a. leucolaema, Aphelocoma woodhousei, Cyanocephalus
