Finch. — No. 73, ad., May 7, 1878. A common summer resident ( Hen - 
shaw ). 
25. Melospiza fasciata fallax, Baird. Rocky Mountain Song- 
Sparrow. — Summer resident ( Henshaw ). 
26. Junco oregonus {Townsend). Oregon Snowbird. — No. 18, 
J ad., February, 1875 ; No. 19, £ ad., October 29, 1875. Tlie Snow- 
birds are very abundant in winter. They come close to the quarters, 
feeding upon the ground beneath the pine-trees, where it is a pleasure to 
’watch them. They are very gentle and familiar, allowing one to approach 
quite close before flying up into a tree ( Wittich). 
[As respecting their tameness, they thus appear to be unlike their East- 
ern cousins (J. hyemalis), which are very shy, timorous birds, flying off 
with a scared twitter whenever approached.] 
Common summer residents of the mountains (Henshaw). 
27. Spizella socialis arizonae, Coues . Western Chipping Spar- 
row. — June 9, 1875 ( McElderry ).

row. — No. 20, ad., April 26, 1875; No. 77, g ad., April 29, 1878. The 
specimens forwarded are typical leucophrys. Numerous at Klamath (Wit- 
tich). This species is probably totally distinct from either Z. gambeli
