tions, mostly inhabiting the tops of loftiest Conifene. Coast and 

 interior specimens are alike. 



215. Vireo huttonii (obscurus.) Anthony's Vireo. 



May be considered a rare visitor to Vancouver Island. I secured 

 one near Victoria. This specimen, also two secured by Mr. Maynard 

 in the spring of 1891, near the same place, are of the strongly 

 marked race of huttonii, proposed by A. W. Anthony in 1890. 1 



216. Helminthophila ruficapilla gutturalis. Calaveras Warbler. 



Two examples of the Calaveras Warbler were taken at Vernon 

 and others were seen at Nelson. They may be considered as neither 

 rare nor abundant in British Columbia. 



217. Helminthophila celata. Orange-crowned Warbler. 



Five specimens from the interior of British Columbia are distin- 

 guishable from the coast form, which does not appear to cross the 

 Cascades. This species is sparsely scattered over the whole interior 

 region. 



218. Helminthophila celata lutescens. Luteseent Warbler. 



A very abundant summer resident on the Pacific slope, coast and 

 islands. All but one of the series can be separated from celata by 

 the darker yellow lower tail coverts. 



219. Dendroica aestiva. Yellow Warbler. 



The most omnipresent and abundant species of the genus. 



220. Dendroica coronata. Myrtle Warbler. 



I did not meet with the " Yellow-rump " east of the Cascades, 

 but found it associating with D. auduboni in Vancouver Island and 

 Washington during the migrations. It is much less abundant than 

 auduboni. The distribution of this bird in British Columbia is, in 

 some respects, unique. 



221. Dendroica auduboni. Audubon's Warbler. 

 Abundant summer resident everywhere. 



222. Dendroica maculosa. Magnolia Warbler. 



A specimen taken at Field and two or three observed at Vernon 

 entitle this species to a place in the fauna of British Columbia. 



*223. Dendroica nigrescens. Black-throated Gray Warbler. 



On Vancouver Island the peculiar song of nigrescent was occa- 

 sionally detected but no birds secured. I feel quite sure that I saw 

 a pair on the mountains near Clinton.
