35. Anas discors. Blue-wing Teal. 



Mr. Fannin calls this a " very rare bird " in British Columbia. I 

 found it breeding about several of the small lakes in the vicinity of 

 Lac La Hache. A male, female and three young were secured. 



36. Anas cyanoptera. Cinnamon Teal. 



To Mr. Fannin's two records of this species I can add several. 

 In the smaller, more retired, woodland lakes along the Cariboo

 says the " red teal " breeds sparingly in that neighborhood every
