Zool., 70: 331, 1930) that the form described by Ridgway from Fort Garland, Colorado, as Hylocichla fuscescen salicicola, commonly called the Willow Thrush, might eventually be found to have an unbroken range across the continent, occupying in the east a position north of the range of the well-known Wilson’s Thrush, Hylocichla f. fuscescens.
