This Flycatcher is quite numerous in summer in California, especially in the south¬

Phoebe.

95. Sayornis say us, (Bon.).—Say’s Flycatcher. 
The proclivity of this species for a rather northerly habitat is seen in California, 
where it is not found at all in summer in the southern portion, though possibly it 
occurs in the more northern parts. In the fall, it makes its appearance south of San 
Francisco late in September, and remains through the winter.

9(3. Caniopus borealis, (Swains.).—Olive-sided Flycatcher. 
Coincident with its diffusion over North America generally, this Flycatcher is found 
on the Pacific coast, though in Southern California at least it appears to be not so 
numerous as in the middle region. It is pretty closely confined to the mountains.

97. Contopis virens, (Linn.), var. richardsoni , Swains.—Short-legged Pewee. 
In California, as elsewhere throughout the far west, this Pewee is by far the most 
numerous of the Flycatchers. It is found in every piece of woodland, though in sum¬ 
mer the greater number retire to the depths of the mountains.

98. Empidonax traili, (And.), var. pusillus, Swains.—Little Flycatcher. 
Dr. Cooper was certainly in error in considering the E. traili as identical with the 
form found in California. This is the same as that occurring in the middle region.
