rarely, to Vancouver Island; abundant in the pine belts along 
the Similkameen and along the Cariboo road above Clinton. 
(Fannin.) Resident in the mountains ; rarely descending to the 
valley. (Brooks.) This species was rather common at Banff, 
Rocky Mountains, in 1891, and breeding in the mountains ; 
common in the Crow’s Nest Pass in August, 1897 ; in the summer 
of 1885, when the Canadian Pacific Railway was being built 
through the Rocky and Selkirk mountains, this bird was very 
common around the camps and apparently living on their refuse. 
(Macoun.) Early in the spring of 1890 this species was quite com- 
mon at Revelstoke, B.C., but soon retired to the mountains; they 
were common at Deer Park, Lower Arrow Lake, Columbia River, 
B.C., on June 4th, 1890, when fully fledged young were shot; at 
Robson, B.C., they were abundant on the mountain sides later in 
the month; observed on all the mountains between Trail and Cas- 
cade, B.C., near the International Boundary, in the summer of 
1902; in May and June, 1889, this species was far from uncommon 
at Spence’s Bridge and up the Nicola valley where they seemed to 
be breeding; observed a few in the mountains at Chilliwack Lake, 
B.C., in July, 1901. (Spreadborough.) Common during the winter 
of 1897-98 at Lake Okanagan, B.C., but entirely absent the next 
winter ; many remained to breed in 1898, and they also bred in 
1897; they lay in February. (Bvooks.) This species extends 
from the summit of the Coast Range to the summit of the Rocky 
Mountains, in British Columbia, in summer. Rare at Clinton and 
Lac la Hache, but wintering wherever found. The Indians de- 
clare they breed in February and again in July. (4hoads.)
