 May, 1910 THE OLIVE WARBLER IN SOUTHERN ARIZONA 107 June 8 was again a lucky day for me. The evening before I had spent some two hours watching a pair but could not locate the nest, tho all their actions led me to believe that one was near by. Early in the morning I was again looking over the trees there, and soon heard and located the male. He was shortly joined by his mate. After some little time spent in feeding she flew into the top of a slender pitch pine tree. I could not see just where she was but heard the note Which I have learned is uttered when she is on the nest, so climbed up and found the nest at a height of fifty feet, at the tip of one of the top branches. It contained three fresh eggs. The eggs of 29. olivacea are very thin-shelled and remind me very strongly of Phainopepla's in this respect as well as in color. They are shaped more like a Song Sparrow's egg and resemble the greenish type of the latter in color and markings. MISCELLANEOUS RECORDS FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND ARIZONA By HARRY S. SWARTH HE University of California Museum of Vertebrate Zoology during the past year has come into possession, by donation, of the collections of bird skins of Mr. F. O. Johnson and of Mr. W. B. Judson, of Los Angeles, California. Both of these collections are composed for the most part of beautifully prepared specimens, in excellent condition, including some rare and interesting birds. In going over them for the purpose of arranging and cataloging, the writer found various specimens, which, for one reason or another, it seemed desirable to place on record. In the case of the Johnson collection the information given herewith is derived solely from the labels attacht to the skins, but iu the Judson specimens it is sometimes supplied from the writer's notes or memory, he having been with Mr. Judson when most of the birds listed below were collected.
