Pipilo fusca 2 mi. N. of Perote, 7800 ft, Veracruz, Mex. July 8, 1946 between our camp, 5 mi. E. of Perote, 8700 ft, Veracruz, Mex. and the locality hunted this a.m. Although barley & corn fields extend into the pines, and although they are margined by scrub pines and Iaccharis, the birds were apparently absent. It was not until the maguey hedges rows were hunted that P. fusca was seen. None of the birds seen were heard to utter any notes of any bird, so it is as yet im- possible to draw any comparison between the note of these birds and, say, petulans. At least 2 of the birds collected today were be- ginning their molt. Tail feathers were being replaced, some of the body feathers were being replaced, and in one specimen pinfeathers were noted in the buffy gular patch. Apparently the breeding season is pretty much over here. The gonads of all the birds (all ?'s) were greatly enlarged, but are probably on the way to regression. These birds, as compared to those collected at Jerzo, are certainly much farther along, as evidenced by the beginning of the molt, and the excessively worn plum- age.
