Fort Huachuca, Arizona. – 11 specimens, 6 species, of which may be mentioned 6 adults and [[underlined]] young Sialia azurea, a young Trogon ambigu[[strikethrough]]o[[/strikethrough]]us [[/underlined]] in the first plumage. All from Arizona, and the head of a female [[underlined]] Imperial Wood-pecker (Campephilus imperialis) [[/underlined]] from Sonora, Mexico, a species of which the museum as yet possess no complete specimen, the above head being the first fragment of this magnificent bird to reach the museum; 170 specimens, 70 species, chiefly from Southern Arizona, and a few from Sonora, Mexico. This collection is one of unusual interest and valued as containing a number of rare species excellently prepared. A series of [[underlined]] 7 Colinus ridgwayi [[/underlined]] and [[underlined]] 4 Callipepla elegans bensoni, [[/underlined]] both recently described species, deserve special mention.
