In a recent letter Mr. Stephens adds:—“From my own observations I should characterize the respective haunts of the Arizona Thrashers as follows: H. lecontei is exclusively a bird of the deserts. H. bendirei is a desert bird approaching the valleys. H. palmeri occurs along the edge of deserts, occasionally appearing in valleys. H. crissalis haunts valleys and broad cañons, seldom venturing into the deserts.”
