Rufous Hummingbird : Selasjthoms rvfuft.—The reddish-brown hummingbird whose gorget flashes fire red, orange, and brassy green Avas seen July 8 on a telephone wire near the tepees at Many Glaciers, and Mr. Gibb said one had come to the piazza at his ranger sta- tion. One was also seen about the lake on June 29, 1913, by Mr. E. R. Warren. Xt Granite Park Mr. Bailey saw one on July IT, and on the pass between Gable and Chief Mountains on August 9,1 caught a flash of rufous as one came up from below and wdiizzed on across the pass. In June, 1895, Messrs. Bailey and Howell reported quite a number seen and one shot at about 5,000 feet on the mountain near Nyack. Hummingbirds are said to be found close to the glaciers, and the mountain flower beds should be watched for them. Spirited little knights of Tournay, with flashing armor and lances at rest, they may well afford rare entertainment for spectators.

At Fort Sherman, Idaho, its arrival is said to be coincident with the bloom- ing of the wild hawthornc. At Granite Park on July 17 a hummingbird, with the soft flight of calliope, darted into a white-barked pine in front of the chalet; but, unfortunately, before it could be examine
