Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Revision of the Avian Genus Passerella: With Special Reference to the Distribution and Migration of the Races in California
Of breeding birds of these six subspecies there are available fairly extensive series of each race from several localities, but the map (fig. N) will Show what vast stretches of country there are as yet not rep resented in collections. Series of summer birds from any one place are signally uniform in appearance, so it is evident that an explana tion of the great range of variation seen in series of migrants and winter birds is to be sought in the study of specimens from many summer stations - the variation in a series of stations rather than among many specimens from one place.
