While I was crossing the Western Divide of the southern Sierra, just north of the Saw-tooth in the vicinity of Mineral King, in the latter part of June, 1904, I saw a considerable number of Leucosticte tephrocotis. They were running about over the snow-drifts which extended from the Pass north of Saw-tooth to Lake Columbine and were very busy catching the twelve-spotted lady-bird. I conld see many little holes through the snow and wondered if the lady-birds had made them.

Three Rivers, Cal.

[Additional evidence of the inadequacy of the so-called “warning marks” of lady birds!-ED.]
