Twenty-eight Golden-crowned Sparrows trapped at U. of C. Botanical Gardens, Strawberry Canyon, on Nov. 7, 8, 9, 1933. Kept in small cages in the Life Sciences Bulding on the campus until morning of Nov. 10. They were then placed in paper cartons covered with mosquito netting, and were driven in my car to a point on the right bank of the North Fork of the Calavera$ River, in Calaveras Co., Calif., about 2 miles south of San Andreas. This is at an elevation of about 1000 ft., and is about 84 miles a little north of eastk from Berkeley. There, in com- pany with Mary Erickson I released the birds, which immediately flew across the river to trees on the opposite bank. There are grass-covered hills on each side of the river, dotted with oaks and pines; in the river bottom are willows, and near by sycamores and other trees.
