Page 81. 382. Conurus carolinensis. Carolina Paroquet. 
The record of this species made by Pike in 1807 on the 
Arkansas River (1895 Edition by Dr. Cones, Vol. II. p. 474) is 
the earliest allusion to this species in Colorado, but as Pike does 
not mention it by name, only describes it, its proper place in 
the Colorado list is that already given it (p. 45) as introduced 
by Dr. Cones in 1877.

pecker. 
In the Slimmer of 1897 W. P. Lowe saw a pair in com- 
pany with young and feels sure that they were reared in St. 
Charles Canon, Pueblo County. He saw a pair of old birds at 
the same place in 1896.

Two specimens taken by Mr. Aiken at Colorado Springs

tending its range to the eastern foothills.

To the records east of the range add one taken about the 
middle of July, 1897, by Mr. Aiken, at Ramah, on the Divide 
south of Denver, at about 8,000 feet. The known northward 
range of this species has been greatly extended by the capture 
of a specimen July 24, 1897, in Carbon County, Wyo. , a hun- 
dred and fifty miles northwest of Laramie City.
