--While collecting in the hills back of Palo Alto, California, on November 24, 1907, two specimens. of funeo h. byemalts were procured from an uuusually large flock of Juncos. By following the birds from tree to tree across an orchard I was able. to iden- tify three more of these Eastern Junc øs from the majority of the flock which were funco h. 1Mno- sus. I have often looked for these rare winter visitors, but these two are the first I have ever been able to collect. The specimens are indistinguishable from specimens offuneo h. byemalts from Wisconsin.--J. R. PEMBEaTON, Palo Alfo, California.
