THE OLIVE WARBLER IN SOUTHERN ARIZONA 
107 
June 8 was again a lucky day for me. The evening before I had spent some 
two hours watching a pair but could not locate the nest, tho all their actions led me 
to believe that one was near by. Early in the morning I was again looking over 
the trees there, and soon heard and located the male. He was shortly joined by 
his mate. After some little time spent in feeding she flew into the top of a slender 
pitch pine tree. I could not see just where she was but heard the note which I 
have learned is uttered when she is on the nest, so climbed up and found the nest at 
a height of fifty feet, at the tip of one of the top branches. It contained three fresh 
eggs. 
The eggs of D . olivacea are very thin-shelled and remind me very strongly of 
Phainopepla’s in this respect as well as in color. They are shaped more like 
a Song Sparrow’s egg and resemble the greenish type of the latter in color and 
markings. 
MISCELLANEOUS RECORDS FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND 
ARIZONA 
By HARRY S. SWART II 
T HE University of California Museum of Vertebrate Zoology during the past 
year has come into possession, by donation, of the collections of bird skins 
of Mr. F. O. Johnson. and of Mr. W. B. Judson, of Los Angeles, California. 
Both of these collections are composed for the most part of beautifully prepared 
specimens, in excellent condition, including some rare and interesting birds. In 
going over them for the purpose of arranging and cataloging, the writer found 
various specimens, which, for one reason or another, it seemed desirable to place 
on record. In the case of the Johnson collection the information given herewith is 
derived solely from the labels attacht to the skins, but in the Judson specimens 
it is sometimes supplied from the writer’s notes or memory, he having been with 
Mr. Judson when most of the birds listed below were collected. The numbers given 
are those of the bird collection of the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology.
