During a collecting trip on the Divide south of Denver, in 
1897, Mr. Aiken took careful notes of the relative abundance 
of these two species in the breeding season, at Ramah, altitude 
8,000 feet. In quite a small area he found about a hundred,and 
fifty pairs of the Arkansas Kingbird and only about twenty-five 
pairs of Cassin’s.

Horned Lark. 
The determinations of Mr. Ridgway, mentioned below, 
make it probable that most of the winter birds of northern Col¬ 
orado should be referred to areiiicola instead of leucolcEma.

Horned Lark. 
A series of ten Horned Larks from Colorado were sent by 
Mr. Aiken to Washington. They embraced winter and sum¬ 
mer specimens selected from a large number to show all phases 
of plumage, some even having the throat white without trace 
of yellow. They are all referred by Mr. Ridgway to arenicola.

A nest with eggs was found by Mr. Aiken in May, 1878, 
-on Horse Creek, seventy-five miles east of Colorado Springs.

The first sentence should read: “The first eggs known to 
science from Colorado, etc.” Maj. Bendire had previously 
taken the nest and eggs in Oregon.

Several more records can be added to the five previously 
known. Mr. H. G. Smith saw a male in a garden in the city 
of Denver in June several years ago. Mr. C. E. Aiken took 
one in fall plumage at Colorado Springs September 5, 1897. 
There is a mounted bird at Cheyenne taken by Mr. F. Bond, 
who writes: “The Bobolink is not uncommon with us. I 
have taken them yearly for some years; sometimes within the 
city limits.” •
