CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 289 
1894, Mr. Spreadborough took specimens at Medicine Hat and 
Crane Lake, Assa., and in May, 1890, secured one at Revel- 
stoke, B.C.; he also found a number of pairs breeding at Kam- 
loops, B.C.,in June, 1889. (Macoun.) I have three records of 
this species west of the Coast Range, B.C. East of this range it 
is a tolerably common breeder in the semi-arid interior. (Brooks.) 
East of the Coast Range in British Columbia; not common. I 
have only found it in the neighbourhood of Kamloops, but have 
heard of it at Ashcroft. (/@mmn.) <A special trip was made in 
the vicinity of Kamloops and Ashcroft for this species, but no 
trace remained of the colonies once existing there. The last pair 
known to remain in that locality lived in a badger’s burrow on 
the bank of Thompson River, near the ferryman’s house. None 
have been seen at Kamloops or Ashcroft since 1890. (Rhoads.)
