6 April 1881
10 miles East of Tombstone Ariz
169 Troglodytes var. parkinianus 9
I. oliv brown. Low bench. W.
common. First one seen this season.
5857
170 Polioptila cairiula 4.9X6.5 9
5858
171 Tyrannus vociferans 9.1X5.9 8
I brown. Abundant in summer.
T. verticalis is rare here, but very
abundant in Southern Cala
where I have never seen T.
vociferans. It is a little odd
that vociferans should be sur-
rounded by verticalis without
mixing with it. Verticalis nor
vociferans winter here.
One of my horses got a little
broken last night and I
shall have to shoot her.
Will have some trouble to
get another probably.
