Anthony lived at Apache Hills, a few miles south of Hachita, during February- 
October, 1886, and September-December, 1889. He made extensive explorations 
and collections not only in the plains region but also in the neighboring Big and Little

While journeying from Indiana to Guaymas, Mexico, in 1887, Dr. Evermann and 
Professor Jenkins made notes of the birds seen the first week in July, when passing 
through New Mexico. These notes were published as: Ornithology from a Railroad

of San Pedro, about thirty miles northeast of Albuquerque, New Mexico, from July 
1 to 16, 1889; and from July 16 to 25, 1889, in the vicinity of Albuquerque. During 
late November and the first week in December, 1889, he collected at Deming and in 
the flat country surrounding it. In 1899, accompanied by Alexander Henry Higgin- 
son, he was at Portales, June 7, and Roswell, June 8-12, after which they made a 
wagon trip to Mount Capitan, camping at the base of the mountain at Las Palos, 
June 13-16, and climbing Mount Capitan, June 14. They returned over the same 
route to Roswell, June 17, and went thence to Carlsbad, June 18-20. Cloudcroft, at 
9,000 feet, near the summit of the Sacramento Mountains, was visited by Mr. and 
Mrs. Bailey by train from El Paso, May 28-June 2, 1900, and by Bailey and Hollister 
with camp outfit, September 7 and 8, 1902. 
On July 19, 1901, Bailey entered New Mexico by train from Texas and went to 
Carlsbad, where he was joined by Mrs. Bailey, and worked in the vicinity until 
July 30. They then went by wagon up Dark Canyon and camped for a week high up 
in the Guadalupe Mountains five miles east of Queen, then two days at Queen and 
August 9-25 in Dog Canyon, the base camp being at 6,800 feet in Texas one-half 
mile south of the New Mexico line, from which three trips were made to McKittrick 
Canyon, one over night, August 20-21, for exploration and collecting. On August 
25 they returned to New Mexico and during the next three days worked north about 
20 miles along the main range, then turned east August 27 and reached Dark Canyon 
again at Moseby’s Spring, returning to Carlsbad, August 29. They remained near 
Carlsbad until September 18, with a side trip, September 13-14, out 35 miles 
southeast onto the Staked Plains. Some of the records made near Carlsbad in 
September were published by F. M. Bailey as: An Irrigated Ranch in the Fall 
Migration (Condor, XII, pp. 161-163, 1910).
