I want to report the White-eared Hummingbird (Busilinnu Zeucotis) as occurring in the Santa Catalina Mountains, Arizona. In 1915, a female came close to my camp by the canyon stream several successive mornings. So far as I know this bird has never been reported nearly as far from the International line. Both the Huachuca and Chiricahua mountains touch the Mexican line. I am particularly interested in the bird because I discovered it in the Huachucas, and Dr. Fisher in the Chiricahuas, in the same month. Both specimens taken were females.

That makes ten species of hummingbirds for the Catalina Mountains, namely, Rivoli, Blue-throated, White-eared, Broad-tailed, Black-chinned, Broad-billed, Costa, Allen, Rufous and Calliope.
