Common on Vancouver Island and throughout British Columbia. 
(Lord.) Moderately common everywhere in British Columbia. 
( Streator.) West of the Coast Range ; an abundant summer resi- 
dent ; the only one to my knowledge on Vancouver Island. 
(Fannin.) Common summer resident at Chilliwack. (Svooks.) 
This was a common species at Banff, Rocky Mountains, Alta., 
during the season of 1891, breeding in numbers on the lower 
branches of the spruce, especially about Vermillion Lakes. 
Observed several in the Crow’s Nest Pass in August, 1897 ; first 
seen at Revelstoke, B.C., April 30th, 1890, after that date became 
very common, still very numerous on May 30th, feeding on rasp- 
berry bushes ; only occasionally seen at Deer Park and Robson 
on the Columbia River, in June, 1890; quite common on Mount 
Queest, Gold Range, B.C., at an altitude of 6,500 feet, in August, 
1889; not uncommon at Waterton Lake, Alta., at the eastern 
base of the Rocky Mountains in July, 1895; a few seen at 
Chilliwack and McGuire’s ranch, Chilliwack River, B.C., June, 
1901 ; a few seen near the International Boundary between Trail 
and Cascade ; very abundant along Murphy Creek trail, just north 
of Rossland, in July, 1902. First seen at Victoria, Vancouver Island, 
April 22nd, 1893, and common by the 25th. At this date they were 
feeding in great numbers on the wild gooseberry, (Aedes adivari- 
catum). A summer resident throughout the island. (Spread- 
borough.) Incredibly numerous on the coast during April migra- 
tions ; nesting at Nisqually while night frosts still lingered and 
mercury averaged 45° to 50° during the day. Scarcely less com- 
mon in many parts of the interior districts and found on the sum- 
mits of the highest mountains, including the Rockies ; nests with 
eggs nearly hatched found April 18th, 1892. (Rhoads.) On June 
15th, 1893, I found this species to be common along Vermillion 
Lakes at Banff, Rocky Mountains. Three specimens were shot 
and a nest was found containing two eggs. The nest was attached 
to the branch of a spruce tree seven feet from the ground. 
(W. Raine.) Mr. T. W. Hanmore, who has been stationed at 
Tyonck, Cook’s Inlet, Alaska, for eleven years, says that he has 
seen humming-birds there several times. (Osgood.) One specimen 
seen on Eagle Island, Lynn Canal, and one at Glacier, above 
Skagway, and a nest with two eggs taken. One was seen at 
West, 41m. of Lake Bennet/about’ Bat-Go-.,,3.C.\on June 24nn.
