With the possible exception of nigrescois, this race is more deeply 

 colored than any of its American congeners, the legs and feet ])eing 

 \)articularly dark and heavily mottled. So far as we have been able to 

 determine, there is no light phase. A single example from Ashcroft, 

 British Columbia, is intermediate between mtni'atus and lagophonns; 

 and another from Sitka, Alaska, verges also somewhat toward the 

 latter form. 



Specimens examined come from the following localities: 



Washington. — Fort Steilacoom; Skagit County; Similkameen; Port 

 Townsend; American Lake; Simiahmoo. 



British (hluinhia. — Kamloops; Lund; Ashcroft.
