18 Mech 8/ Chiricahua Mts a. T. (Morse's Mill) 5752 65 Parns meridionalis? 5.2 X 8.5 8 Iris dark brown, Insects. As near as I can make it out this is P. muridalis but I may be mistaken. I saw another with it (probably a female) but after shooting this I did not see the other again, and supposing this to be septentrionalis I did not look for the other as I cared for only a single specimen of common species. This was up a canon about half way to the summit from the mill. My attention was attracted by its note which was like that of septentrionalis It was in an Oak when first seen but flew into a Spruce. The only Parns I saw in N.M. were a very few P. montanus
