5- Meh 81 5699 12 Thryothorus var. luteogaster 5.4X7.2 ♂ J. fram. Bill blackish. Legs blackish. Food, insects. Common in weeds and brush along the stream. Shy and difficult to entice out in sight sufficiently to shoot at. By throwing stones near where I hear them, they will sometimes venture out to see what the disturbance is. 5700 13 Ditto 5.6X7.8 ♂ Shot through the head. 5701 Molothrus lincolnii 5.3X7.6 ♀ Extremely fat. 5702 Prince. (caniceps) 6.3X9 ♀ I cannot tell now whether this is caniceps or dorsalis. The best account of the sp. of prince I have seen is in Henshaws Report on birds collected by Linn in Ariz. State N. M. & Cols. which I have not at hand.
