8 April 81 9 Miles East of Tombstone A.T. 5465 178 Centurus andpygiating. X159 9 Oak brown Bill black, Legs pale, with a green reflection from the large scutella. This is the furthest east I have seen this species. Did not find it on the upper Gila. Frequent marguit trees and the Giant Bactus. The latter are not found this far east and the marguit are low brush here. This bird was on Oak and Walnut trees which are very sparsely scattered along this arroya. We are now within a mile of the divide between the Gila and the Sonora rivers, on the Sonora side. Tombstone is on the Gila side Prairie with very low barren mits.
