Pipilo fuscus Zerzo, 3 mi. N of Pachuca, 9000 ft, Hidalgo, Mex. July 3, 1946 Are not common in this area, as only 5 were noted inside of 3 1/2 hours, and 1 of these might have been an individual pre- viously observed. The weather was clear and windless, and although it was warm, the temperature was not excessively high. July 4, 1946 15 mi N of Mexico City, State of Mexico, Mex. July 4, 1946 We took a road branching to the west off of C. N. N° 1, and followed it for about 3 miles hunting Brown Towhees. Only 4 were seen in this dis- tance, possibly because it was around noon and the only birds seen commonly were shrikes and Myiarchus sp. The road was bordered on one side by an irrigation ditched margined by large pepper trees, and on the other side by flat, open grassland with scattered clumps of scrub. One pair of towhees was seen under and in the branches of a pepper tree, but they flew. The remaining 2 were single birds seen in clumps of scrub in the grassland. One was fired at and missed; the second was hit in one wing but escaped by running ra- pidly into the low vegetation, where we lost it.
