brown; wing-coverts, outer edges of the inner secondaries and a narrow 
tippingon the tail, brownish-ochraceous ; beneath brownish-fulvous with 
an ochraceous tinge on the throat, abdomen, and crissum, and a broad 
band of coarse but obscure black spots extending across the breast ; head- 
! markings as in the adult, but duller. 
Eight specimens were collected. “Iris light brown ; bill brownish horn- 
color above, bluish beneath; legs brown.” 
82. Cardinalis virginianus igneus {Baird) Cones. Saint 
Lucas Cardinal. — Found only at Tucson, where it occurred 
sparingly in low brush, usually near streams.

tail, 4.92; longest feathers of crest, 1.35. “Iris dark brown ; legs brown.” 
83. Fyrrhuloxia sinuata Bonap. Texan Cardinal. — '■ 
In the latter part of April three of these Cardinals were taken 
near Tucson, and several others were seen in the same place 
during March, 1880. They were found among mesquites, along 
brush fences and in the shrubbery of an arroya. “Iris dark 
brown; bill yellowish horn-color; legs pale brown. Food 
seeds, green buds and insects.” 
84. Zamelodia melanocephala ( Swains . ) Cones. Black-

mountains. 
367, $ ad., Santa Rita Mountains, May 13. Length, 8. 10; extent, 12.90; 
wing, 4.17; tail, 3.75. “Iris dark brown ; legs light plumbeous.” 
391, $ ad., Santa Rita Mountains, May 16. Length, 8.40; extent, 
12.80; wing, 4.28; tail. 3.70. 
In addition to being considerably larger than any of my more northern 
specimens, these examples are peculiar in having the interscapular feath- 
ers so broadly edged with brownish-orange (brownish-yellow in the $ ) 
that the back appears to be about equally streaked with light and dark 
color. 
85. G-uiraca ccerulea ( Linn .) Swains. Blue Grosbeak. 
— Only a few were seen during the present trip, but Mr. Steph- 
ens found them common on the Gila River in 1876. “They are 
late migrants.” 
445, $ ad., Tucson, May 28. Length, 7.20; extent, 11.10; wing, 3.60; 
tail, 3.27. Iris dark brown ; bill black above, bluish below; legs black.” 
86 . Passerina amcena {Say) Gray. Lazuli Bunting. 
— Two specimens, obtained April 25, at Tucson, are noted as “the 
first ones seen.” One of them, a male, has the blue almost com- 
pletely obscured by rufous, which forms a broad tipping on all the 
feathers of the upper parts. The throat, however, remains nearly 
pure blue.
