10. Cincius mexicanus Swains. American Water 
Ouzel. — The following notes relate to the only. specimen met 
with : 
“ My attention was called to the song of some bird which came 
from the mountain brook running past camp. There was a 
steep, rocky wall on the further side, and the notes echoing from 
it, and mingling with the purling of the water, sounded exquis- 
itely sweet. On looking for the author, I noticed some ripples 
rolling out from behind the willows that fringed the nearer 
shore, and soon discovered an Ouzel dabbling in the shallow 
water. My shot wounded the bird, but did not disable its wings, 
for it repeatedly dived, using them as propelling agents when 
beneath the surface. The sun shining on the air-bubbles that 
clung to its plumage made it look like a ball of silver flying through 
the water. On the surface it paddled along very much in the 
manner of a Phalarope.”

7.90; extent, 12.10; wing, 3.85 ; tail, 2.50. "Iris hazel. The flesh was 
dark and tough with a fishy smell. The inside of the skin looked like

11. Sialia mexicana Swains. Western Bluebird. —A 
single pair, taken in the Chiricahua Mountains in March, are 
accompanied by the note, “ abundant in all kinds of timber.” 
12. Bialia arctica Swains. Arctic Bluebird. — This 
species is noted as “ rare in the low valleys” among the Chirica- 
. hua Mountains. A small flock was also seen near Galeyville on 
“grassy plains,” where “they flew from one weed-stalk to 
another.” They were “restless and rather shy.” The single 
specimen obtained was shot on. this latter occasion. 
13. Myiadestes townsendi (And.) Caban. Townsend’s 
Solitaire. — Three specimens were obtained in the Chiricahua
