TEXAN CABDINAL. PyrrhuUuia nlnuutu Bonap. Geog. Dist.—North- ern Mexico and Southern border of the United States—Southern Texas to Southern Arizona and Lower California. This species inhabits the southern border of the United States. Dr. Merrill fcund it abundant at times at Fort Brown, Texas, particularly in the Spring. Mr. Sennett records it as tolerably common at Lomita and a probable resident in that region along with the Virginia Cardinal, and breeds fully as early. There is, he states, little difference between the habits of the two Cardinals, but the Texan is more confined to open and exposed situations near settlements, and is always shy and suspicious, so that he rarely came upon it unawares. The nest is built in thickets, sometimes in isolated bushes, from three to eight feet above the ground, and is said to be very much smaller than that of C. cardinalis. The materials are bark strips, twigs and dry grasses. The eggs are usually four in number and re- 27.
