A single specimen taken.— (Dresser, Ibis, 1865, 481.— Sennett, B. Rio Grande, 16.)

Seen in small flocks during the migrations ; doubtless pass the winter here. — (Dresser, Ibis, 1865, 480.— Sennett, B. Rio Grande, 16.)

Abundant from about the first of September until April. I do not think that any remain to breed. — (C. ludovicianus excubitorides, Sen- nett, B. Rio Grande, 16. — Collyrio ludovicianus, Dresser, Ibis, 1865, 480.)

62. Chondestes grammica, (Say.)

This species is most abundant during the migrations in April and September ; but a few pass the winter, and some remain to breed. In this vicinity, they appear to build indifferently on the ground or in bushes. When in the latter situation, the nest externally is rather bulky, but is neatly finished inside with hairs and rootlets. — (Dresser, Ibis, 1865, 488.— Sennett, B. Rio Grande, 19.)

63. Zonotrichia leucophrys, (Forst.)

Abundant during the colder months. — (Sennett, B. Rio Grande, 19.)

This variety seems to be about as common during winter as the pre- ceding. — [Z. gambelij Dresser, Ibis, 1865, 488.)

65. . Zonotrichia albicollis, (Bon.)

On May ll r 1877. 1 heard the unmistakable song of this species within the fort.
