18. Zonotrichici coronata —Golden-crowned Sparrow. 
A specimen was taken March 31. and several others seen in a 
bushy ravine. This bird and the last were undoubtedly winter 
visitants. 
19. Spizella socialis arizonce —Western Chipping Sparrow. 
Probably a resident bird as it was noted on both visits. The 
only specimen secured was an adult male on March 30. Another, 
probably a female, was seen at the same time, and from their 
actions I thought that there was a nest in the vicinity; it must 
have been in cactus as there was no other vegetation at hand. 
On June 3, a pair was noted, and on June 5, another. In all 
these cases the Chipping Sparrows were high on the steep canon 
sides toward the interior of the island, and were very shy. 
20. Amphispiza belli —Bell’s Sparrow. 
Quite common on the hillsides and lower mesas where there is a 
low thorny bush growing in clumps and patches interspersed 
with cactus. At the time of my first visit, the males were in 
full song, and dissection of females showed that eggs in most 
instances had already been laid. During the second visit, full- 
grown j uveniles were plentiful. The notes and habits of this 
bird were substantially the same as of those about Pasadena. 
Twenty-six specimens were secured. 
21. Melospiza fasciata clementce —San Clemente Song Spar¬ 
row. 
Common along the ravines and lower mesas near the coast, as 
well as scatteringly along the canons higher up. Its favorite 
haunts appeared to be the weed patches and low brush on the 
sides of the shallow ravines which cut the first mesa above the 
beach. Here their songs and call-notes, which were seemingly 
identical with those of the adjacent mainland race, M. f heer- 
manni , were continually heard. At the time of my first visit, 
nidification was in progress, and during the second visit many 
full-fledged juveniles were taken. Unfortunately no nests were 
discovered. Seventeen adult specimens of M. f. clementce meas¬ 
ure as follows: length, 6.00-6.50 (6.26); wing, 2.37-2.68 (2.56), 
culmen, .42-.46 (.44.) Thirty-five specimens of the San Cle¬ 
mente Song Sparrow were secured.
