S Donner Pass, Glacer Co., Calif. - 1 in dead brush & root tangle under sparse trees along gullied stream bed. {aug.21 Grosser Cr., 5650 ft., 1 1/3 mi. E, 3 1/2 mi. N Truckee, Nevada Co. Calif.- 1 seen in browsed back (a therefore dense) willowos scattered along gravelly stream in (mow) dry grassy swale below sagebrush-covered hills. Aug.24 "Signal Hill", 7200 ft., 1 mi. W Donner Pass, Glacer- Nevada Co.line, Calif. - 2 seen in edge of bitter cherry, willow, etc. brush on moist S facing slope. aug.25 near Mary Lake [see p.] - 1 in willows near lake & forest edge. General: I am satisfied that the House wren does not nest regularly at localities of Donner Pass altitude. All the above records except that of June 24, are probably of wandering birds.
