Brewster on Birds from Arizona and New Mexico. 69 
with the species at Camp Apache in 1874, says, “ with the 
exception of the call-notes used by both sexes, and which resem- 
ble the s}dlables chuck , chuck , several times repeated, they were 
perfectly silent and neither here nor elsewhere did I ever hear any 
song.” This was probably due to the lateness of the season, 
Mr. Henshaw’s observations being made in July and August. 
5. Cardinalis virginianus igneus ( Baird ) Coues. Saint 
Lucas Cardinae. — A single adult male of this well marked race 
is in the collection, from the San Pedro River. I mention it in 
the present connection chiefly for the purpose of calling attention 
to some interesting specimens collected by Mr. N. C. Brown, 
in Kendall Co., Texas, during the spring of 1880. These birds 
are nearly intermediate between cardinalis and igneus , their 
tails being much longer than in the eastern species, while the bills 
are larger and more swollen ; the red of the crest clearer, and 
the black on the forehead reduced to the narrowest possible line. 
6. Icterus parisorum, Bonap. Scott’s Oriole. — Mr. 
Stephens sends me three males of this Oriole. They were taken 
in the Chiracahua Mountains, not far from the locality where 
Mr. Henshaw met with the species in 1874. The accompanying 
notes describe them as u active, restless, and very sweet singers.” 
They were rather uncommon and no females were seen. The 
adult plumage is apparently not perfected before the second 
year, as two of the present examples lack the black hood and 
back, and are otherwise dull-colored, although taken late in the 
spring. 
7. Antrostomus vociferus arizonae. var. nov. Stephens’s 
Whip-poor-will. 
Ch. sp. Similis A. vocifero ; sed major; alis longioribus ; 
rictus setis longioribus ; loris, striga superciliari, guise phalerisque 
lunatis fulvis ; albo in cauda contraction. 
$ (No 5238, author’s collection), Chiracahua Mountains, Ari- 
zona, May 22, 1880. Generally similar to A. vociferus but 
much larger ; with the rictal bristles considerably longer ; the gular 
crescent and a pretty well defined superciliary stripe, ochraceous ; 
the lores and auriculars tawny ochraceous. The white of the 
tail barely tipping the outer web of the lateral feathers and on the 
others confined to a narrow, apical space ;* the under tail-coverts 
nearly without barring. 
* On the inner web of the outer pair of feathers this space measures 1.11 inches in 
depth .; of the second pair, 1-50; of the third, 1.55.
