Brewster on a Collection . of Arizona Birds. 
92. Icterus bullocki {Swains.) Bonafi. Bullock’s Ori- 
ole. — Only two of these Orioles were taken during 1881; 
but in the previous summer Mr. Stephens found them not 
uncommon in the foot-hills of the Chiricahua Mountains. 
93. Gorvus corax carnivorus ( Bartr .) Ridgw. Amer- 
ican Raven. — Incidentally mentioned as common about Tucson. 
94. Corvus cryptoleucus Couch. White-necked Raven.— 
A small proportion of the Ravens seen about Tucson were recog- 
nized as belonging to this species. Their notes differed widely 
from those of the common Raven, and ‘hit times sounded some- 
what like the quacking of a Duck.” 
324, $ ad.. Tucson, May 4. Length, 19.90; extent, 40.70; wing, 14.06; 
tail, 8.94. “Iris dark brown.” 
95. Cyanocitta stelleri macrolopha (Baird) Ridgw. 
Long-crested Jay. —Five specimens, Chiricahua Mountains, 
March 24 to 26. “ These Jays are common in the pines well up 
the mountain sides, but they are wary arid difficult of approach. 
When pursued they fly from one tree to the lower branches of the 
next and jumping from limb to limb, take flight again as soon as 
they reach the top. If one can follow fast enough to get within 
range before the bird reaches the top of the tree he may obtain a 
shot, but it is necessary to keep behind some object while accom- 
plishing this. They are noisy and have a variety of calls, some 
of which are disagreeably harsh. I think they are shyer here 
than in other localities where I have met with them.” One of 
Mr. Stephens’ specimens (No. 106) has the crest strongly tinged 
with blue, thus approaching var. diademata of Mexico. 
96. Aphelocoma woodhousii (Baird) Ridgw. Wood- 
house’s Jay. — One specimen, Galeysville. January 29, 1S81. 
97. Aphelocoma sordida arizonae Ridgw. Arizona 
Jay. — Mr. Stephens met with this Jay in the Chiricahua and 
Santa Rita Mountains, and judging from the number of specimens 
obtained it must be rather abundant in both ranges. k ‘ They go 
in flocks of from five to twenty, and are generally seen in the foot- 
hills. They are restless, and in most localities shy, but around 
mills, where they congregate, to feed on the grain in horse drop- 
pings, they become used to the presence of human beings and are 
more easily approached. Their food is chiefly broken acorns.’’ 
A nest found May 16, in the Santa Rita Mountains, is a bulky 
structure composed chieflv of yellowish rootlets with some coarse
