Pipilo funebris 2 mi. N of Tecate, 7800 ft., Vera Cruz, Mex. July 9, 1946 Truned Brown Towhees from 8 a.m. to noon along the maguey hedgerows in the same area as yesterday. About 12 towhees were seen, 2 of which were collected. Only a few solitary birds were seen, most of them being paired. All birds were silent. 2 pairs were seen about an old military fort, where they seemed to have a predilection for perching on the old adobe walls, which are about 10 ft high. Corn has been planted right up to the walls. One specimen (1843) was in the molt. The rectrices were not molting, but there were many pinfeathers all through the dorsal and ventrolateral feather tracts. The rectrices are quite worn. Pin feathers were also noted in the crown. The bird is an adult ? with tectera measuring 13 mm. On the way up to camp, I noted 2 Brown Towhees along a Baccharis - maguey hedge along a ploughed field at about 8300 ft. The birds flew along the hedgerow when disturbed, and finally took to the pines bordering one end of the field, flying from tree to tree in short hops, until I lost sight of them. This is the first time I have seen them in the pines. Other birds seen along the maguey hedgerows, not mentioned in notes of July 8: Mourning Doves, about 3 or 4; Selasphorus
