This new form was recently described by Mr. Ridgway, who 
writes: “In our somewhat extensive series of Junco montanus, I 
find only one specimen from Colorado. This is a female, No. 
109,943, U. S. N. M., collected at Pueblo, October 29, 1886, by 
C. W. Beckham. There are several examples from New Mexico 
and Arizona ; all fall and winter birds.” Mr. C. E. Aiken took 
this form at Ramah in February, 1899. He also has several 
specimens in his collection taken March 2, March 27 and 
October 25. The species therefore stands in the Colorado list as: 
Winter visitant, not uncommon; arrives the last of October and 
remains until late in March.

Breeds abundantly at Breckenridge, and in 1898 one 
nested under the eaves of Mr. Carter’s house. A very late 
record for the plains was one taken by Mr. C. E. Aiken at Limon 
on May 25, 1899.

Sparrow. 
This is the name now given to the bird that was formerly 
entered as the Black-throated Sparrow. Mr. P. L. Jones reports 
finding a nest with young near Canon City in 1888. This is the 
only time he saw the bird there in five years’ residence.
