Passerina ciris (Linnaeus)
The Western Foundation has in its collections an egg of the bronzed cowbird taken from a nest of a painted bunting, at Brownsville, Texas, 15 April 1900, by F. B. Armstrong. This is only the second instance known to us of parasitism on this host by the bronzed cowbird. The bunting is frequently imposed upon by the brown-headed cowbird, recalling the case of the yellow-breasted chat, which shows similarly a differential in its role as a victim of the 2 species of parasites.

Passerina ciris (Linnaeus)
A set of 2 eggs of this bunting with 1 of the brown-headed cowbird, taken 2 miles north of Royse City, Washington County, Texas, on 23 May 1939, and now in the Western Foundation, is the first for the host-parasite combination P. ciris pallidior and M. ater ater, although the area is fairly close to where the ranges of M. ater ater and M. ater obscurus meet. The latter race of the cowbird has long been known to parasitize this subspecies of the bunting, while M. ater ater has been known to victimize P. ciris ciris.
