714 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA. 
April 21st, 1893, at Victoria, Vancouver Island, after this date they 
became common, but most of them left earlyin May. Some reside 
all year, as I saw them in January, 1890. (Spreadborough.) British 
Columbia. (ZLorvd.) Found only during the autumn migration, 
and then in the coast region. (Stveator.) West of the coast region; 
near the coast. (/annin.) Summer resident on mountain tops 
near Chilliwack. (Svooks.) On the coast of British Columbia in 
migrations. Probably breeds in the Coast Range and mountains 
of Vancouver Island. I was surprised to again meet with this 
species at Field, where I saw many and secured three birds. One 
of these in spotted nesting plumage proves that the summer 
habitat of the dwarf thrush is far more extended than formerly 
supposed. (Rhoads.) Not uncommon at Vancouver City, Lulu 
Island and Sea Island, B.C.,in the spring of 1894. (Z. F. G. I lite.) 
Very common everywhere at Sitka, Alaska, especially on the 
small wooded islands; at low tide they were frequently to be seen 
feeding among the kelp and rockweed along the shore. (Grinnell.) 
Specimens of this bird are in the National Museum collection 
from various points along the timbered coast of southeastern 
Alaska, including Cook’s Inlet, Sitka, Kadiak and Chugatchik 
Bay. (lVelson.) Rather rare on Queen Charlotte Islands. Two 
adult females were taken at the head of Cumshewa Inlet, and one 
male on Prevost Island, June, 1900. (Osgood.) Mr. Osgood seg- 
regates a new form out of this species to which he gives the sub- 
specific name verecunda. If this name@holds good it will apply to 
all British Columbian coast records. (J/acoun.) Two male birds 
in fresh fall plumage were taken at Hope, Cook’s Inlet, August 
26th and 2oth respectively; these are very olivaceous on the upper 
parts and agree with a bird taken at Circle City, Alaska, August 
18th, 1899. [The above specimens are considered verecunda by 
Mr. Osgood.] Two specimens were taken at Hope and Tyonek, 
Cook’s Inlet, Alaska, September 7th and 14th respectively. These 
are in fresh fall plumage and are somewhat more olivaceous than 
fall birds from Kadiak. (Osgood.) Mr. Osgood considers the 
latter true aonalaschke and cites Kadiak Island as the home of 
the type. (MWacoun.) 
We heard several singing at Skagway, and Osgood took one at 
Haines, June 2nd, 1899. At Glacier they were tolerably common, 
and we secured several, but they were very shy, keeping in the 
thickets during the day and singing several hours in the evening
