Although not recently obtained in North America, it has thus been twice 
reported from California. 
30. Quiscalus major, Vieill. ‘‘ California,” Gambel, 1847, but he 
obtained it only at Mazatlan. It may be looked for on the Lower Colo- 
rado, 
31. Quiscalus purpureus (Bartr.). “ Oregon,” And., 1839, without 
authority. “California,” Gambel, 1847, Newberry, 1857, who probably 
both mistook Scolecophagus cyanocephalus for it ; no specimens are known 
from the west slope. S. ferrugineus (Gm.), “ Oregon,” Townsend, was ob- 
tained there by Peale, and is common in Alaska. 
32. Corvus ossifragus, Wils. “Oregon,” Townsend’s List, And. Syn., 
1839 ; “ California,” Woodhouse, 1853 ; all mistaking C. americanus var. 
caurinus for it. 
33. Cyanocitta beecheyi (Vigors), 1829. “ California,” Botta in 
Eydoux’s Voy. de la Favorite, 1839, but not known from the peninsula 
recently, or found north of Mexico. 
34. Cyanocitta ultramarina (Temm.). Audubon (1839-40) and 
Nuttall (1840) confounded this Mexican species with C. californica (Vig.)* 
The var. arizonce, Kidgw., may reach California at the Lower Colorado 
Kiver. 
35. Calocitta colliei (Vigor), 1829, = P^cc» hullocM, And., 1831-42 
(not of Wagler), Nuttall, 1840, both of whom described it as from the 
“Columbia Kiver,” but without good authority, while Nuttall denies 
ever having seen it there or in California. It probably does not even 
straggle north of Mazatlan, Mexico. 
36. Cyanocorax geoffroyi, Bonap., 1850. California.” [This is 
a synonym of Cyanocitta heecheyi (Lawrence).] 
37. Sayornis fuscus (GmeL). “ Oregon,” Townsend’s List, 1839, but 
it is not now known west of long. 100°. He may have mistaken S. 
nigricans for it, as that reaches Southern Oregon.* 
38. Antrostomus? macromystax (ITa^^.), Ca.ssin, p. 240. “Cali- 
fornia,” from a label in Mus. Phil. Acad. A well-known Mexican spe- 
cies. 
39. Antrostomus nigrescens ? Cah.,—A. californianus,^’ Bonap., 
1850, New Grenada. I think some of the larger tropical species of 
this family may stray into California, as I saw what appeared to be one as 
large as A. carolinensis in Ventura County in 1872, but could not obtain 
it, and heard no note. 
40. Pious lineatus, Linn. “ Oregon,” And., 1839 - 41, from a speci- 
men in Edinburgh “ sent by Dr. Gairdner.” Not known from North 
America, and was probably collected in South America. 
* Saurophagus hairdi, Gamb., 1847, has been attributed to California, but 
was given by the author as from the Gulf Region of Mexico. It is South 
American, and has not recently been reported from Mexico.
