I subjoin the measurements of the present specimen of lecoittei , 
for comparison with some taken from specimens in my collection 
of H. curvirostris , H. curvirostris palmer i and H. redivivus. 
Harporhyncus lecontei. 9 (No. 5232). “Length, 10.50;

tent, 13.25”; wing, 4.05 ; tarsus, 1.28; tail, 4.07; bill (chord),

3. Cardellina rubrifrons, ( Giratid ) Set. Red-faced 
Warbler. — A young male obtained at Fort Bayard, New Mex- 
ico, July 1 6, 1876, extends the range of the species considerably 
to the eastward of Camp Apache and Mt. Graham in Arizona, 
where it was found by Mr. Henshaw in 1874. This evidence is 
important from its bearing upon the original record by Giraud in 
1841, when it was included among the famous “Sixteen Species” 
alleged to have been procured in Texas. Mr. Stephen’s specimen 
was taken “ in a canon, among high mountains.” 
4. Pyranga hepatica, Swainson. Hepatic Tanager. — 
There are four specimens of this Tanager in the collection. The 
birds themselves offer nothing worthy of mention, but some notes 
which accompany them are of much interest. Under date of 
May 30, 1880, Mr. Stephens writes: “The species is rather 
common here (Chiracahua Mountains) . They keep mostly 
among the pines (but sometimes in oaks) and several haunt the 
vicinity of the house, where I can hear them singing at all times 
of the day. The song is loud *and clear, but short. I have 
found no nests but a female, taken May 26, had laid all but her 
last egg.” 
This description of the song, is, so far as I can remember, the 
first that has been given. Mr. Henshaw, writing of his experience
