Benho 1960 Zonotrichia leucophrys Mar 24 Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. - Frank Pitelka trapped a brown-crowned White-crown, brought it to me on 25 Mar., when I prepared it as PCN 722. It was a ♀, overy 5mm long with small ova (1mm). Shell completely 2 large. Molt on crown and breast. Probably a local bird rather than a northern one. It might be pointed out now that most of the migratory birds have left already - at least on campus one does not see the small flocks that I associate with wintering "pytensis". The birds here are singing, on campus and in Strawberry Canyon. Mar 26-27 On March 28 F.A.P. brought me 6 new birds from his yard. These were prepared on Mar. 29. The first I did (722) was a ♀, about the same stage of devel- poped as 721. It was in heavy molt - the head, up- [illegible] under the mandibles and between them, the coronul region and side of the neck, as well as the anterior parts of the central tract ( but not the posterior parts ) A kee mittae , and the dorsal cervical tract were all well observable as molting from inside the skin. 723 was a ♂, fattest sparrow I have ever seen - gobs of white fat over abdomen, and in femoral area, and over the body. Gobs that I could pull off weighed 5 gm. Molt on dorsal cervical region only, as far as I could tell, but couldn't see most of the tracts for the fat. Testes 3 x 1½ mm. Soaked skin in gasoline till 30 Mar.
