were not as plenty in 1879 as they were last summer. I heard 
the males until August, at which time I left the Chiracahua 
Mountains. I have not heard of the species elsewhere in Arizona.” 
8 . Picus stricklandi, Malherbe. Strickland’s Wood- 
pecker. — The only record of the occurrence of this Woodpecker 
within the United States is that by Mr. Henshaw, who found 
it abundant in the Chiracahua Mountains, Arizona, in August, 
1874. An adult male and female, kindly presented to me by Mr. 
Stephens, were taken April 6, 1880, in precisely the same locality. 
The latter gentleman writes that the species u is at least as com- 
mon here as any other Woodpecker. I hear or see them daily 
and could get as many as I had time to prepare. In the next 
range of mountains, seventy-five miles to the northwest, I am 
positive they never come, for I lived there a year and collected 
much of the time without finding them.” 
9. Callipepla squamata, ( Vigi) Gray. Scaled Quail. — 
A fine male and female of this species, taken respectively March 
13 and April 2, 1880, on the Rio San Pedro, Arizona, differ so 
materially from Texas specimens as to strongly suggest varietal 
distinctness. Although in remarkably fresh plumage, their gen- 
eral coloring is very pale and bleached. There is not the slight- 
est trace of the usual rusty chestnut patch on the abdomen, that 
part being nearly concolor with the lower portion of the breast. * 
The yellowish-rusty of the anal region and crissum is very light 
in tint, and the blueish cast on the breast is barely appreciable. 
The bill, also, is shorter and slenderer than in either of my Texas 
examples. 
In the absence of a larger suite of specimens, I cannot decide 
as to the stability of these differences, but should they prove suf- 
ficiently constant to entitle the Arizona form to varietal separation 
I would suggest the name pallida as an appropriate one. So 
far as I can learn, most of the specimens actually examined by 
ornithologists, have come from localities considerably to the east- 
ward of that represented by the present examples. 
Some additional species in the collection do not seem to call 
for any special elaboration and I accordingly give them with the 
accompanying localities and dates, in the following list.
