Summer resident and abundant over the state. They pre- fer a hilly or mountainous country, where there is an abund- ance of brush and scattering trees. I have found them breed- ing in the Laramie, Medicine Bow, Ferris, Rattlesnake, Big Horn, Bear Lodge and Wind River mountains at elevations varying from 6,000 to 8,000 feet. Nearly all observers have re- ported them and the records are too voluminous to publish. 596. Zamelodia melanocephala (Swains.). Black-headed Grosbeak. Summer resident in Big Horn, Johnson and Crook coun- ties and probably further southward; not common. There are no breeding records from south- ern and western Wyoming. Coues records this species from Sinking creek and the Big Horn river; Grinnell from Yellowstone park ; Jesurun from Douglas; Bond from Cheyenne and Silver Crown. The following records have been obtained from the Na- tional Museum : Nos. 88077 and 88078, taken at Fort Laramie; No. 68889, taken at Laramie; Nos. 11241, 11246 and 11248, ta- ken at Fort Bridger.
