Jan., ?9o 5 I THE CONDOR ?3 in "North American Fauna No. 7." As is evident, probably no other one interior locality has already received so much attention from Naturalists, and yet much new and valuable data doubtless await the future explorer of this locality, still far from the influences of cultivation aud the railroad. The following is a list of the birds detected during my brief visit, July ?9 to 26, x9o4, within two miles up and down the valley from Fort Tejon: Loibhortyx californicus vallicolus ?7enaidura macroura Gymnogyibs californianus Cathartes aura ?Iccilkiter cooiberi ?uteo borealis calurus ]:alco sibarverius ibhaloena Strix ;bratincola Aleo?ascoibs asio benditel Bubo viro?inianus ;bacificus Dryobates villosus hylosco;bus Dryobates ;bubescens turati Dryobates nuttalli A4relane?bes formicivorus bairdi Colaibtes cafer collaris Phal?enoibtilus nuttalli cahfornicus Cal. ypte anna Tyrannus verticalis A4ryiarchus cinerascens Sayornis nio?ricans Conto;bus ric har dsoni Emibz'donax trailli ?libhelocoma californica Corvus coraa: sinuat?ts lrcterus bullocki Euib ha o? us c y a noceib hal u s Caribodacus mexicanus fr ontalis A str ao? alinus ;bsaltria he?ber oib hi lus A strao?alinus lawrencei Chondestes o?rammacus strig?atus A imoibhila ruficeibs A4relosibiza ciner ea heer ma nni Pilkilo maculatus'meo?alonyx Pi;bilo uscus crissalis Zamelodia melanoceibhala caibitalis Guiraca cerulea lazula Cyanospiza amoena Progne subis hesperia Tachycineta thalassina lepida Vireo gilvus swainsoni Vireo solitari?s cassini Vireo pusillus albatus JDendroica testira brewsteri Toxostoma redivivum pasadenense Salpinctes obsolet?is Catherpes mexicanus punctulatt?s Trog?lodytes aedon parkmani Uerthia americana zelotes Sitta caroline?zsis aculeata Btvolophus inornatus Chaintea fasciata Psallripar ? s?'minimus Polioptila ctvrulea obscura Sialia mexicana occidentalis Some Bird Notes from the Central Sierras BY CHARLES.R. KEYES URING the late spring and early summer of ?9o3 a small party, including the writer, tramped with pack animals from Sonora to Lake Tahoe, thus passing through the central heavily timbered portion of the Sierra Ne- vada mountains. We left Sonora on May ?7, crossed the north fork of the Stanis- laus river at Robinson's Ferry and thence made a leisurely trip by the old Big Trees--Carson Valley stage road along the north bank of this river, the route tak- ing us through the Calaveras grove of sequoias, through Bear Valley and through the beautiful chain o? mountain meadows called Charity, Faith, and Hope Valleys. From the latter we left the old time stage road, now frequented by few except passing sheep and cattle men, and, turning northward through Luther's Pass, soon descended into Lake Valley and finally concluded our itinerary, so far as
