THE CONDOR 
Vol. XV 
In general terms the ranges of the various subspecies of Pipilo macnlatus in 
California may be said to be as follows: P. m. incgalonyx in the San Diegan and 
Southern Sierran districts; P. m. falcifcr in the Santa Cruz, San Francisco Bay, 
and Northern Humid Coast districts; P. in. falcincllns in the San Joacjuin-Sacra- 
mento and Sierra Nevadan districts; }\ in. curtains in the Great Basin district; 
and P. in. clcinciitac in a part of the Santa Barbara Island district. 
Fig. 47. Map showing tlie distribution in California of the suljspecies of Pipilo iiia- 
culatus occurring w'ithin the state. No. 1, Pipilo iiiaculafus niegalonyx ; no. 2, P. in. falcifcr; 
no. 3, P. III. falcincllns; no. 4, P. in ciirtatiis; no. 5, P. in. clementae. 
While this map is believed to indicate the general outlines of the ranges with a fair 
degree of accuracy, it is not to be relied upon for the liner details of distribution. Thus 
although large portions of the San Joaquin Valley are not inhabited by the species, lack of 
specimens, together with the small scale of the map, render it impracticable to illustrate this 
point. The range of ciirtatus in northeastern California, as here shown, merely takes in the 
points from wdiich specimens have been examined; and the boundary between curtatus and 
falcinellus may eventually prove to lie much farther west.
