Patelka 1946 June 23 2 mi. E, 1 mi. S Steamboat Springs, Washoe Co., Nevada. followed old road to Virginia City and proceeded into lower part of canyon where willow thickets occur along the stream. Typical juniper-juniper woodland occurs on the slopes along this stream, unnamed on the U.S.G.S. map (Carson quadrangle). Among the small trees were shrubs of Artemisia, Chrysothamnus, Purshia, and Prunus andersonii (desert peach). Three pairs of jay, spaced along a half mile or so along the stream, were located without difficulty, but only the first pair, with young out of the nest but not yet fully grown, could be approached. I obtained the adults and one young, and much to my surprise, they proved to be "superciliosa", at least so far as one could judge from the worn plumage. This discovery now suggests that the Aphelocoma population of the lower end of the Virginia Range may be of the "superciliosa" type. Moreover, this falls into line with the evidence from the more northern part of the same range, where "superciliosa" occurs. Other species seen here included Perica pecai, Ortchus vociferus, Psaltriparus minimus, Redymelos mckeanocphalus Falco sparverius, Lophortyx californica,
