Davis 1946 Pipilo fuscus 11. Mexico, July 5 to 5 mi. E of Lerote 8700 ft, Vera Cruz, Mex. July 6, 1946 field or garden crops, P. fuscus may be found if the correct over type is present, e.g.:-maguey hedge rows, or scattered cactus or shrubs. Village of Sierra de Agua, 4 mi. N of Lerote, 7900 ft, Vera Cruz, Mex. July 7, 1946 This a.m. Libby collected a Brown Towhee perched in a Baccharis of Brush at the edge of a field. Several others were seen between Sierra de Agua and Lerote. The roadsides here are bordered in many places by corn, maguey and grain fields. Many of the corn and grain fields are bordered by maguey hedge- rows, which apparently provide the necessary over for Brown Towhees. The Brown Towhees collected yesterday, and the one collected today, were compared to the 2 specimens collected at Jerego, 3 mi. N of Sa- Chuca. The 3 specimens from the eastern plateau are larger, paler dorsally and with paler throat map and chin patches and paler under tail covers. Re- frence for the localities for the 2 towhees collected yes- terday and the specimen collected today is the same as cited in species account for July 3, 1946. 2 mi.

July 8, 1946 Hunted in this locality from 8:15 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. There are numerous corn and pea fields all along the main highway from Lerote to Sierra de Agua.
