This subspecies is remarkably free from injury to the frontal sinuses
such as result from the presence of parasites. In 98 adults from
Oregon, California, Nevada, and Colorado, no malformation was noted.
Only 1 of the 26 specimens from Washington was malformed and it was an
intergrade with _washingtoni_. The single adult from New Mexico was
diseased, as were 3 of the 6 from British Columbia, 1 of the 20 from
Idaho, and 1 of the 7 from Utah.
_Specimens examined._--Total number, 568, arranged alphabetically
by provinces and states and from north to south by counties in
each state. Unless otherwise indicated specimens are in the
collection of the United States National Museum.
