and Ducks in central British Columbia in June, 1889. (S¢reazor.) 
Very abundant east and west of Coast Range. (/annin.) Resi- 
dent at Chilliwack, B.C., and tolerably common; rather rare in 
winter at Lake Okanagan. (Lvooks.) 
This species was common at Revelstoke, B.C., in the spring of 
1890. First observed on the oth April, and became common 
before the end of the month. On 30th May two pairs were found 
nesting in the cliffs at Deer Park, Arrow Lake, Columbia 
River, B.C., and a female shot. Another nest was found in a cliff 
at the mouth of Pass Creek, near Robson, B.C., 1902. A few were 
seen near the 4gth parallel between Trail and Cascade. Scen on 
Vancouver Island at Victoria, oth Sept, 1893. (Spreadborough.) 
Distribution and abundance like that of the eastern form. Breed- 
ing near the summits of the Rocky Mountains at Field, B.C.

MUSEUM SPECIMENS. 
One specimen taken at Agassiz, B.C., May 17th, 1889, by W. 
Spreadborough. 
339. Red-shouldered Hawk. 
Buteo lineatus (GMEL.) VIEILL. 1816. 
This species may reach Newfoundland occasionally, as it has 
been taken in northern Nova Scotia. It is rare in New Bruns- 
wick, though Chamberlain says it may breed near St. John. In 
Quebec it becomes more common, and in the St. Lawrence Valley 
it is far from rare. Quite acommon summer resident in Ontario, 
breeding freely, and extending westward to eastern Manitoba. 
Our most northern reference is York Factory on Hudson Bay, 
where it was collected by Dr. R. Bell. This seems to be an east- 
ern species with its centre of distribution in Canada, north of 
Lake Ontario. It is much more restricted in its range than the 
Red-tail. 
Have met with these birds occasionally in December and 
January, and know of at least one having been taken in the latter 
month. On the 8th January, 1g00, I saw two. While wintering 
they seek the shelter of deep ravines. (7. Hughes-Samuel.) Our 
most common hawk in summer at London, Ont. (W. &. 
Saunders.)
