■168. Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus. Yellow-beaded Blackbird. 



I saw a skin of this bird, shot at Vernon. Clinton ; J. Smith. 

 Lac La Hache, McKinley Bros. ; White Valley, Okanagan. Cas- 

 ually breeding in British Columbia. 



169. Agelaius phoeniceus. Red-wing Blackbird. 



Of very local occurrence. Found breeding at Victoi'ia, Lulu 

 Island and Vernon. In a series of twenty-three Washington and 

 British Columbia skius no differences are apparent between these 

 and Atlantic coast specimens. 



170. Sturnella magna neglecta. Western Meadowlark. 



Very rare at Lac La Hache. In all other opeD situations abun- 

 dant, from Vancouver Island to the Rocky Mountain foothills. 



171. Icterus bullockii. Bullock's Oriole. 



Bare at Ashcroft and disappearing midway between Ashcroft 

 and Clinton, on the Bonaparte River. More numerous at Kam- 

 loops and abundant around Swan Lake, at Vernon. 



172. Scolecophagus cyanocephalus. Brewer's Blackbird. 



Breeding in suitable localities, both east and west of Cascades to 

 Vernon, in the south, and Lac La Hache in the north. 



173. Pinicola enucleator. Pine Grosbeak. 



East and west Cascade and Rocky Mountain regions of British 

 Columbia. Not common. 



174. Carpodacus purpureus californicus. California Purple Finch. 

 Found breeding on the coast. 



■175. Carpodacus cassinii. Cassin's Purple Finch. 



A few examples, probably of this species, were found breeding in 

 the interior. 



176. Loxia curvirostra minor. American Crossbill. 



Coextensive with coniferous forests at all elevations. East and 

 west of Cascades. 



177. Leucosticte tephrocotis. Gray-crowned Finch. 



A flock of these was seen on the Rocky Mountain summits near 

 Field. 



178. Acanthis t Redpoll. 



A Redpoll secured by Mr. Lindley at A'ictoria resembles Un- 

 arm but is larger and otherwise different. From my lack 

 of specimens of the other forms its identity remains questionable.
