white patch at base of inner )3rimaries ; white blotches on tips of uppertail-coverts and inner webs of tail-feathers in varying proportions. Length about8.00 (203.2) : wing 4.39 (111.5) ; tail 2.42 (61.4) ; bill .82 (20.8) ; depth at base.62 ( 15.0 ) ; tarsus. 81 ( 20.3 ). Female very slightly smaller. Recognition Marks.—Chewink size; olive-brown coloration with black andwhite in masses on wings; large, conical beak distinctive; high-pitched call note. Nesting.—Has not yet been found breeding in Washington but undoubtedlydoes so. Nest (as reported from New Mexico): principally composed of finerootlets with some Usnea moss and a few sticks, settled upon horizontal branchesof pine or fir, near tip, and at considerable heights; in loose colonies. Eggs: 4,in color, size, form, and texture indistinguishable from those of the Red-wingedBlackbird ( Birtwell).

.0? THE WESTERN EVENING GROSBEAK. 69 General Range.—\\estern United States and Northern Mexico; east to andinclndinj; Ivocky Mountains; nortli to British Columbia. Range in Washington.—Co-extensive with evergreen timber and appearingirregularly elsewhere. Resident within State but roving locally. Winters regu-larly in parks of the larger cities. Authorities.—? Fringilla vcsl^crtina Townsend, Journ. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila.VIII. 1839, 154 (Columbia R.). Hcspcriphona ics(^crtiiia Baird, Rep. Pac. R. R.Surv. IX. 1858, 409. T. C&S. Ra. Kk. B. E. Specimens.—U. of W. P. Prov. P.. E. SPARROWS are also called Cune-bills; it is, therefore, fair that the birdwith the Ijiggest cone shotild take precedence in a family history. But for thisprimacy there are damaging limitations. The Grosbeak is neither the mostbeautiful nor the most tuneful of the Fringillid;e, if he is by common consentrated the oddest. His garb is a patchwork; his srmg a series of shrieks; hismotions eccentric; his humor
