'108 THE CONDOR Vol. XIV What few American Ravens I know of in this section did not share in the migration but were present in their usual haunts all winter.--F. C. The Western Marsh Wren Wintering Near Helena, Montana.mOn March 12, 1911, I observed a Marsh Wren (Telmatodytes palustris plesius) in cattail marshes near. Helena, Montana. I both saw this bird closely and heard it sing several times, so that I feel certain of its species, though I was unable to secure it. This was in the same locality in which I found the Virginia Rail a few weeks before, reported in T?E CONDO?, xm, p. 108. Since the spring migration had barely started, only the Mountain Bluebird and Desert Horned Lark having arrived at that date, it is reasonable to suppose that the W,ren was not a migrant but had spent the winter there. Wilson Snipe and a Virginia Rail were again observed there on this datc.--A?ET^S A. S^UNDE?S. Who Wj,ll Save the Band-tailed Pige0n?--Band-tail?d Pigeons (Colmnba faxclara) were abundant this winter from Paso Robles south to Nordhoff all through the coast range of mountains. One hunter from Los Olivos shipped over 2,000 birds to .the San Francisc6 and Los Angeles hotels. The morning train from San Luis Obispo to Los Olivos on Sundays averaged 100 p?tssepgers who came to hunt pigeons. A, prominent hunter told me that these passcngers .averaged about thirty birds apiece per day. This would make this one day's excursion over 3,000 pigeons. Now!--this is only one train and one day's hunting. One can hardly calcu- late the number of birds killed by hunters in automobiles and those who started from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Santa Maria, Paso Robles, Lompoc and other small towns. The writer, who is it! ?he gun and ammunition business, was thoroughly disgusted with the game hogs who simply shot pigeons for the sport (?) and could not even eat them all. It is a shame that something is not done for these beautiful birds, which are doomed to follow in the footsteps of the Passenger Pigeon. I honestly believe that the people will never again see such a flight of Band-tailed Pigeons. In Nordholt: it is the largest they have ever seen, and the birds evidently hung around until they were simply shot out. This same state of affairs is probably true in other localities. If something is not done very quickly these birds are doomed; for any bird that flys in 'such flocks is bound to be exterminated. What can be done?--W. LE? Two New Birds for Colorado.--I wish to record two more species of birds new to the State of Colorado. ?First, the Lapland Longspur (Calcarius lapponicus lapponicus). Two of these birds were taken December 28, 18 miles northeast of Denver; one of them identified by Mr. ?Oberholser. Second, the Sierra Hermit Thrush (Hylocichla guttara sequoiensis). Four of these birds have been taken in Colorado and three of them identified by Mr. Oberholser. One was taken on the Arkansas River, May 16, near Holly; one taken near Golden, May 2, and the other two taken west of the range near Granby on October 7, thus proving that they sometimes pass through Colorado both fall and spring. All of the above are in the collectlot/ of the Colorado Museum of Natural History.-- L. J. H?s?. A Correction.--My attention has recently been called to tl?e fact that I recorded the Savannah Sparrow (Passerculus sandwiche.s?s savanna) in my list of birds of South- westeru Montana in the January, 1912, number of q'n? CON?)OR. This is an error for vthich I am unable to account. The list should read Passerc,dus sandwichensis alaudinus Western Savannah Sparrow).--A?TAS A. SAUNV?RS.
